Mr. Dónall Ó Cualáin:

With regard to the sale of stations, as I said, once a station has been decommissioned or is no longer in use as a Garda station, it is very much up to the OPW to decide what to do with it. However, once the programme for Government made clear that the Government wanted six stations opened on a pilot basis, our initial action would have been to ask the OPW not to put any of the remaining estate up for sale until such time as this particular exercise had been completed.
