The photograph shows the new Garda Barracks on the mall. The entrance is flanked by two stone lions - these were recovered and restored to pride of place after many years languishing in the undergrowth of a back garden in Castlebar. The Telecom microwave tower can be seen behind the garda barracks.
The station is the Garda Divisional Headquarters and has a large staff complement. It is located almost next door to the Courthouse.
