My understanding is that the selection of the stations for closure was based on three things, namely, an activity analysis of the Garda network, an examination of the impact assessments conducted by local Garda management in respect of stations regarding delivery, and a detailed review of the Garda station network in the Dublin metropolitan region. In an answer to a Topical Issue debate on 13 December 2012 to Deputy Ross about the proposed closure of Stepaside Garda station, it was said that each regional officer was tasked with conducting an impact assessment of the demands placed on each Garda district and station within their region, which sounds plausible. Is it correct to say that the criteria were the same on both occasions?
