Mr. Noel Waters:
No, that is the figure in its entirety, averaging out all the costs. For some stations, with longer opening hours, the figure would presumably be a lot more. On the other hand, some of the stations that were closed had been opening only for half an hour a day or every two or three days. In many cases, therefore, we are not talking about stations that were functioning 24-7 with a full complement of gardaí.
