Most visitors to Dublin Castle are drawn to the grandeur of the State Apartments or the serenity of the gardens. But tucked away, near the Ship Street Gate, lies a street that offers a glimpse into a different side of this historic complex.
This street, which may or may not have an official name, is located behind the former Coach House (now the Coach House Gallery). At one end, there is a Garda facility. Much of the street runs parallel to Great Ship Street, which is outside the castle walls.
The Dublin Metropolitan Region (DMR) Roads Policing Unit, responsible for enforcing road traffic legislation across the Dublin area, is based at Dublin Castle. The Garda National Roads Policing Bureau (GNRPB) aims to increase road safety by reducing accidents, improving driver behaviour, and targeting criminals using the road network.
Dublin Castle also houses the Garda National Drugs and Organised Crime Bureau (GNDOCB), a specialist unit that tackles drug trafficking and organised crime. This unit comprises numerous Detectives and armed officers.
In May 2023, An Garda Síochána opened a new Regional Office in Dublin Castle. This office houses various Garda units, including the Dublin Crime Response Team and the Garda Síochána Analysis Service, contributing to the safety and security of the capital.
Dublin Castle has a long history with policing in Ireland. It was once the headquarters of the Dublin Metropolitan Police, and in 1922, it was where An Garda Síochána took over policing duties.
