Mr. Drew Harris:

If I may remark further, there are other ways of delivering a local policing service.

There is a social media presence. In addition, I have seen the mobile police station on Store Street and it has been very well received. There are, therefore, alternatives to bricks and mortar, which are only that. Obviously, where there is a station, there is reassurance for the community in seeing Garda patrols backwards and forwards and it feels there is visibility. I can look to my last service, in which a lot of closures were driven by economics in keeping police stations open. I do not feel the same pressure on me because we are in a time of investment. I want to think about the divisional structure and the community policing structure before I come to conclusions on the reopening of Garda stations.
