Accommodating an increased intake of recruits was mentioned in the opening statements. Many Garda stations have been closed in recent years.

I have a list of the stations that were sold and the amount achieved for them. As little of €15,000 was paid for one of them, so it must not have been up to much. I presume it was the OPW and not the Garda Síochána that was involved in the sales.
