Darragh O'Brien (Fianna Fail)

I have learned that prisoners will not be allowed to stay in the downgraded stations and that Garda resources will have to be used to transfer any prisoners detained after 9 p.m. to the nearest full-time Garda station. Furthermore, the Minister should come to this House to confirm whether he has received a report from PricewaterhouseCoopers recommending that 400 Garda stations throughout the country should be closed during this Government's term in office. I remind the House that the Minister has been in charge for 14 months. During that time, he has closed more Garda stations, or announced plans to do so, than the last Government did during its 14 years in office. The amendment to the Order of Business that I have moved calls on the Minister for Justice and Equality to come to the House to explain his policing policy. Specifically, I would like him to explain to the House why he gave incorrect information to me in this House when I raised the closure of Garda stations in my local area on the Adjournment.
