Reopening of Garda Stations: Discussion

9:00 am

Mr. John O'Driscoll:

What I am saying is that we need to look at that. This is in terms of the timescale. I am aware that the Cherrywood development has a 2030 finishing date. It is likely that the reopening of Stepaside will satisfy the demand in the interim, but there is a possibility that the end result will be that Stepaside will service this increased demand until such time as, maybe, this new station is developed, if it is a feasible proposition. It is something that I brought to the notice of the Commissioner, having discussed it with Assistant Commissioner Leahy. We thought it advisable to include it and to make people aware that this is a possible solution to all the problems in that particular area.
