By agreement with the company specified by the Deputy, the following Garda communications masts are utilised by the company in Dublin.
| Garda Headquarters | Howth |
| Bray | Kevin Street |
| Ballyfermot | Lucan |
| Cabinteely | Kill O'Grange |
| Ballymun | Malahide |
| Crumlin | Kilmainham |
| Blanchardstown | Mountjoy |
| Dalkey | Pearse Street |
| Bridewell (DMA North) | Raheny |
| Donnybrook | Rathfarnham |
| Cabra | Ronanstown |
| Dundrum (DMR East) | Rathmines |
| Clondalkin | Santry |
| Dunlaoire | Shankill |
| Clontarf | Store Street |
| Enniskerry | Stepaside |
| Coolock | Swords |
| Greystones | Sundrive Road |
| Finglas | Whitehall |
| Harcourt Tce. | Terenure |
| Fitzgibbon Street | Blackrock (DMR East) |
| Irishtown | Balbriggan |
I am informed by the Garda authorities that as all of these masts were erected prior to 1994, they were exempt from planning permission, and that any mast replaced since then under the terms of the agreement was replaced in accordance with the planning process.
The Deputy will note that the number of locations referred to in the table is 44. In response to Question No. 697 of 26 January 2005, the number quoted for the county of Dublin was 45. This latter figure included Ashbourne station, which, although part of the Dublin metropolitan district, should have been included in the figures for County Meath.
