Green light for new Garda station in Macroom

The station will act as the new divisional headquarters

The current Macroom Garda station has been described as 'not fit for purpose'.

Planning permission has been granted for a new Garda station in Macroom, which will be the new headquarters for Cork county policing.

The station will also act as the new divisional headquarters when the Cork North and Cork West divisions combine, meaning policing from Allihies to Youghal will be directed from the new station.
