I am advised by the Garda authorities that under the Garda Station Rationalisation Programme of 2012 and 2013, 139 Garda Stations were closed nationwide, and the buildings handed back to the OPW. To date, no other Garda Station has been officially closed by the Garda Commissioner.
Of the 139 stations closed, the following eight stations are being held by the Office of Public Works on behalf of An Garda Síochána, pending further consideration by Garda management.
| County | Station |
|---|---|
| Carlow | Leighlinbridge |
| Cavan | Redhills |
| Clare | Kilmihil |
| Cork | Rathduff |
| Leitrim | Glenfarne |
| Monaghan | Clontibret |
| Monaghan | Corrinshigagh |
| Monaghan | Smithborough |
