WATCH: Crane operator shows fantastic view of Laois town from the sky

The crane is currently on the Garda HQ site in Portlaoise- can you spot your house?

A construction worker working on Portlaoise's new Garda Station has posted an amazing video to social media.

Facebook user Molua Ciarán Flanagan posted this video on Monday morning, from the top of a crane.

This €30 million euro investment in Portlaoise will include a three storey extension, with an end date of 2027.

 

The proposed development works will consist of the refurbishment/conservation of existing two-storey Garda station building and two single-storey guard houses.

A three-storey extension will be built to the existing Garda station building while a new three-storey-over-basement building is planned for the Defence Force property beside the station. A former Defence Focres building is among a number of structures that will be demolished.

Last November, former Taoiseach Simon Harris and Former Minister for Justice Helen McEntee attended the station for the turning of the sod.
