Reopening of Garda Stations: Discussion
9:00 am
Mr. Pat Leahy:
I will get to that point as well, Deputy Cullinane. This is what I wrote in my closing remarks:
In summary it is recommended that the following stations be reopened subject to the above considerations, which I have previously read out, in order of priority - Stepaside Garda station No. 1; Rush Garda station No. 2. It is further recommended that the following stations have their opening hours re-established, Dublin Airport Garda station, and Cabra Garda station.
These were the recommendations that were made based on the criteria that were set out. The question I am being asked now is, in terms of resource allocation would my priority be Stepaside Garda station? No, it would not.
