Laois Offaly Deputy Charlie Flanagan believes it is a positive step in the development of a world class Garda station for the midlands.
The tender process for the re-development of Portlaoise Garda Station is expected to take place this summer.
The OPW is working to agree a plan for the works to take place on the barracks.
Permission to commence the demolition of existing buildings has already been obtained, so preliminary works will commence on site following a short Tender process.
Former Justice Minister and Laois Offaly Deputy Charlie Flanagan welcomed the update and believes it is a positive step in the development of a world class Garda station for the midlands.
