Progress in garda station dispute

JUST a week after the Garda Representative Association (GRA) threatened to remove its members from a station in West Cork, it appears a breakthrough has been made which should resolve the long-running saga.

The GRA made the unprecedented threat after it emerged the Office of Public Works still hadn’t received title deeds for land it needs to build a garda station in Dunmanway.

Gardaí were forced to vacate their rat-infested station in 2002, and since then have been working out of a rented house across the street.
