Public Accounts Committee: Reopening of Garda Stations: Discussion (23 Nov 2017)

Peter Burke: The last time the acting Commissioner made a presentation here on this I asked specifically whether the gardaí were ready to go into Stepaside station and were the resources available for them there.

Public Accounts Committee: Reopening of Garda Stations: Discussion (23 Nov 2017)

Peter Burke: Is the assistant commissioner aware that directly contradicts the evidence he gave on the last occasion? He said then that the resources were ready to commence opening the station.

Public Accounts Committee: Reopening of Garda Stations: Discussion (23 Nov 2017)

The assistant commissioner is effectively saying that all these stations will go into a pool with competing interests for budgetary requirements and the priorities of An Garda Síochána.

Peter Burke: I am not disputing that point.

Public Accounts Committee: Reopening of Garda Stations: Discussion (23 Nov 2017)

Public Accounts Committee: Reopening of Garda Stations: Discussion (23 Nov 2017)

Peter Burke: I do not dispute that point but I am getting a big confused. I really would like clarity on that point, in other words, this is not a fait accompli. It is not certain that the recommendation to open these stations will be one of the competing interests in budgetary negotiations. As with all budgetary negotiations, there will be competing interests and it will be considered within the terms...

Public Accounts Committee: Reopening of Garda Stations: Discussion (23 Nov 2017)

Public Accounts Committee: Reopening of Garda Stations: Discussion (23 Nov 2017)

Peter Burke: It is not the position with Stepaside.

Public Accounts Committee: Reopening of Garda Stations: Discussion (23 Nov 2017)
