MORE than €60,000 is being spent on refurbishing a Garda station that is to be closed under Budget 2012.

Justice Minister Alan Shatter said €62,545 would be spent on works on Loughglynn Garda Station in Roscommon.

This is despite that fact that the station is one of 31 that are being closed undera review ordered by the minister and conducted by Garda Commissioner Martin Callinan.
