Ms Nóirín O'Sullivan:

The stations that were closed and sold were no longer fit for purpose from An Garda Síochána's point of view. We were asked to review the closure of a few stations. Based on the census data and the most recent crime statistics, which I outlined for Deputy Cullinane, the situation has changed considerably over the last three years. A review of the displacement effect of those crime figures is being overseen by the Policing Authority and the Garda Inspectorate.
