The new station represents a major investment in policing, community safety and public infrastructure for the Clare/Tipperary Garda Division. It is central to delivering the Government’s commitment to build stronger, safer communities by strengthening An Garda Síochána, expanding resources, and modernising facilities to tackle crime.
Garda Commissioner Justin Kelly said:
“An Garda Síochána and our Garda personnel serving Clonmel are looking forward to the development of this new Station in Clonmel, which will aid us in continuing to keep people safe in south Tipperary.

“The new Garda Station will provide fit-for-purpose accommodation for Garda personnel delivering policing services for the area. The National Development Plan, recently updated by the Government, will fund An Garda Síochána’s Capital Programme, which will modernise important elements of our large estate. This project is a core element of the Capital Programme, and I look forward to its completion.”
