The Coachford Garda station in Cork has officially reopened following a 12-month refurbishment project.

According to a Garda spokesperson, from today the public office "will be open to members of the community from 10am to 1pm daily, with two gardaí and a Sergeant returning to the station."

The refurbishment includes wheelchair-accessible features and a loop system to assist people with hearing impairments.

The building has also been upgraded to an A-rated energy efficiency standard.

The modernisation of the station "aligns with the Modernisation and Renewal Programme" launched by gardaí to "ensure the organisation can meet current policing and security challenges," the spokesperson continued.
