Is it the case that as far as Mr. Nugent is concerned it is on schedule to be handed over to the Garda Síochána at the end of September?

The handing over of the Garda station is one thing but as Mr. Nugent said he will have to equip the Garda station. The people in Rush are very concerned about the staffing level in the station. It is one thing opening a building but we need extra gardaí to staff it and the people in Rush and the surrounding areas are worried that gardaí will be taken from existing Garda stations and put into Rush Garda station, so that there will be an overall decrease in the number of Garda out on the street.

Has the Commissioner considered the allocation of extra Garda resources to the Garda station when it does reopen?
