Planning permission has been lodged for the repurposing of a former Garda station in Co. Leitrim. Keshcarrigan Development Association is seeking permission to convert the Keshcarrigan Garda Station into a community hub. The application includes the restoration and refurbishment of the old Garda station to a community resource use, which would incorporate a museum and working hub.
The works involved in the restoration of the existing barracks include a change to the internal layout to suit new use, installation of lift to the first floor and alterations to elevations. The application also proposes the provision of an accessible entrance, new kitchen, toilets and plant room. The application has been received by county planners and a decision is expected to be made by the end of August.
