Westport Garda Station 'not fit for purpose'

WESTPORT needs a new garda station.

The present station is 'outdated' and 'not fit for purpose', according to Councillor Christy Hyland.

Having attended the station recently on business, he said the whole station needs remodelling.

“It was opened in the '80s and nothing has been done with it since. It's a disgrace,” he said.

Councillor Hyland was speaking at a meeting of Mayo's Joint Policing Committee.
