Sligo gardaí refuse to work out of station described as ‘third-world’

Conditions at Sligo Garda Station have deteriorated even further since an examination of the building was conducted in May 2016, according to the engineer who conducted the surveys.

Frontline gardaí at the station walked out yesterday morning and have insisted that they will not return to the building until either substantial remedial work is carried out or the promised new station is built.

Members of the Garda Representative Association (GRA) made their decision based on the 2016 report commissioned by them from Tipperary-based consulting engineer Michael Reilly.
