The new Headquarters has been designed by the Office of Public Works and is being constructed by JJ Rhatigan &amp; Company. Speaking at the site Garda Commissioner Noir\u00edn O&#8217;Sullivan welcomed the investment by Government in the development of this new Regional and Divisional HQ in Galway. &#8220;This new HQ will enhance the service we provide to the people of Galway and the Western Region in terms of supporting the victims of crime and investigating crime&#8221; the Commissioner said. \u00a0Padraic Rhatigan, Managing Director of JJ Rhatigan &amp; Company, noted that &#8220;we are really looking forward to working on this\u00a0Gateway Project to the City&#8221; which will\u00a0result in the creation of ca. 200 jobs over a sustained 2 year period.<br \/>\nThe new Regional Garda Headquarters will consist of a complex of buildings with a combined area of approximately 11,000m\u00b2. It accommodates different building blocks that interconnect to form a secure courtyard at the centre of the site. The development will consist 2-5 storey buildings housing 21st century facilities. It will provide extensive accommodation facilities to meet the requirements of both Garda\u00ed and members of the public, including a public office, conference, training, custody facilities, as well as accommodation for a vehicle testing garage, a firing range and victim support facilities. The scheme is designed to incorporate sustainable green design principles. It will achieve an A energy rating, has green roofs and solar panels for water heating. It will be part clad in stone to acknowledge its civic status. Construction has now commenced and will take 24 months to complete.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jjrhatigan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Web.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-6877\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jjrhatigan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Web-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"Sod Turning Ceremony JJ Rhatigan\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jjrhatigan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Web-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-6876\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jjrhatigan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Web-2-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"Turning of the Sod JJ Rhatiga\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jjrhatigan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Web1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-6879\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jjrhatigan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Web1-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"Contract Signing\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jjrhatigan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Image.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-6880\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jjrhatigan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Image-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"Image\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Minister Frances Fitzgerald TD officiated the Turning of the Sod Ceremony at the new Galway Regional and Divisional Garda Headquarters at Murrough, Dublin Road, Galway.
