Mr. John O'Driscoll:

I cannot remember the exact phrase. I now have the final version of the report here, but I believe I meant that it would be easier if I was not confined to the stations that were now available to reopen and if other Garda stations had not been sold. Assistant commissioners around the country did recommend the reopening of stations initially, and I then discovered that they were among the stations that had been sold, so I had to go back to them to tell them that we could only look at the stations that remain in State ownership, unfortunately. That is the case in west Cork, for example. These are the stations that remained in State ownership. It was the recommendation of the local chief superintendent and the assistant commissioner in the southern region that the particular station in west Cork be reopened.
