Cork North is among the nine garda divisions to lose their divisional headquarters in Fermoy under the massive new restructuring of the force.
Under the plan , the country`s 18 garda divisions will be merged into nine super divisions.
Macroom will become the HQ in County Cork when a new station is built meaning that Bandon will be the headquarters on a temporary basis.
Anglesea Street will continue as the Cork city headquarters and for the Southern Region.
The new policing model announced in August has been described as the biggest restructuring of the force since its foundation.
The Garda Commissioner says the larger divisions will have more resources and garda visibility in communities as well as more localised services.
