A new garda station in Wexford town has opened as part of a €100m investment in three regional and divisional headquarters.

Two other major new Garda HQ developments have been completed at Kevin Street in Dublin and Galway.

Approximately 120 garda personnel will be based in the new station in Wexford.

Speaking at the opening, Minister for Justice Charlie Flanagan said: "We are now seeing the results of the unprecedented public funding provided to An Garda Síochána in recent years.

"The opening of the new Divisional Headquarters is taking place at a time of major reform and investment which will redefine our national police service as an organisation."

Mr Flanagan spoke about the incoming Garda Commissioner, Drew Harris, who he said "will bring his ability and vital policing, security and change management experience to the  challenge of transforming An Garda Síochána so that it becomes a model of policing excellence, equipped to deal with the huge range of challenges facing police services worldwide."

The new Wexford Garda Station on Mulgannon Road in Wexford Town was designed by the Office of Public Works (OPW) Architectural Services team led by State Architect Ciaran O'Connor.
