Future Direction of An Garda Síochána: Garda Commissioner

Mr. Drew Harris:
I believe it is one of six stations which we are in the process of reopening. When we reopen and staff it, we will see then what impact that has on local crime and local confidence in the Garda. One of the things about Stepaside is that the local people had a great affection for it and wanted it back and raised protests in respect of its closure. We have responded in terms of reopening it.
