The station’s responsibilities include policing the airport, state security, emergency response to critical incidents and escort of State movements of VIP’s and valuable cargo.

They also will work on “cooperation and liaison with local stakeholders and our international police colleagues” and “safe custody of Persons detained by Garda National Immigration Bureau and other prisoners”.

The Garda National Immigration Bureau also operates from the new Dublin Airport station and immigration detention facilities have been running their since March 1.

Minister for Justice Helen McEntee said the new station is “much more in line with standards” expected at international airports.

She said: “I am delighted to be here today at the official opening of Dublin Airport Garda Station. The first Garda Station at Dublin Airport, which opened in 1987, was just a single room in the main airport Terminal.

“This new facility is much more in line with the standards we should expect at a busy international airport and I wish to commend Commissioner Harris and the Gardai and officials who I know have worked very hard on the Dublin Airport Strategic Plan and the resulting station.

“As Minister for Justice, supporting the work of An Garda Síochána is a priority for my Department and this year’s unprecedented budget in excess of €2 billion reflects that commitment. Visibility is key when it comes to effective policing and this new station will help maintain a higher Garda presence here at Dublin Airport.”
