Educational and residential facilities being built at the Garda Training College in Templemore, Co Tipperary, will cost £5.56 million. Work has already started on the development which is due to be completed by next January, bringing total investment in the Garda College to £26 million over 12 years. A new education block consisting of three lecture theatres is being built.
The block will also house ancillary locker, shower, toilet and storage facilities. The rest of the development centres on a new 92-bedroom residential block, together with a recreation/rest facility.
