As the Deputy will be aware, there is a programme commitment to reopen six Garda stations. In conjunction with the Office of Public Works, OPW, there has been successful completion of the refurbishment of four of the six Garda stations that have been reopened: Donard in County Wicklow; Ballinspittle in County Cork; Stepaside in County Dublin and Rush, also in County Dublin. Two remaining Garda stations will require refurbishment in order for them to reopen, which are Bawnboy in County Cavan and Leighlinbridge in County Carlow. The plan for the two remaining stations is under review pending finalisation of the Garda Síochána capital investment programme for 2022 to 2030. I do not have any details on other Garda stations, but I will try to get the information on any particular station for Deputy Daly, if he would like.
