Mr. Joseph Nugent:

The question does not arise because Stepaside Garda station is not open and it will not be possible to open it within the next day or so. As Assistant Commissioner O'Driscoll said, 88 additional gardaí will be assigned to the Dublin metropolitan region tomorrow. Further gardaí will be assigned during the course of 2018. While we have a sense of what resources will be available, the position may change, as Assistant Commissioner Leahy made clear.
