The original features in the building have been saved and preserved and it has provided remote office space for local businesses with hotdesking opportunities for remote workers.
"Overall the project has rejuvenated business and community interest in the building. The added bonus for the community of Piltown and An Garda Síochána is that there will again, be a presence of an usable Garda space in the town," a spokesperson for Kilkenny County Council said.
