I am informed by the Garda authorities that the new City Type Station Garda station for Leixlip is scheduled for completion in Autumn 2008.

In general terms, City Type Stations consists of reception, interview rooms, detention facilities, vehicle storage capacity, juvenile accommodation facilities as well as accommodation for Garda personnel. It is the responsibility of Garda management to allocate personnel to particular stations on a priority basis in accordance with the requirements of different areas. These personnel allocations are determined by a number of factors including demographics, crime trends and other operational policing needs. Accordingly, it will be matter for Garda management to determine the precise services to be provided from the new station before occupation.
