Question 171: To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if a decision has been made to close Mountjoy Garda Station; if such a decision will be reviewed in view of the rapidly increasing population trends throughout the north city areas of Dublin City; if steps will be initiated to obtain a new site or building for a Garda station to replace Mountjoy before a move is made to close this strategically important Garda station; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I have been informed by the Garda authorities who are responsible for the detailed allocation of resources, including personnel, that they have made no decision regarding Mountjoy Garda Station at this stage. I should add that the formulation of proposals in relation to the opening and closing of Garda stations is a matter, in the first instance, for the Garda Commissioner in the context of the annual policing plan, as provided for in section 22 of the Garda Síochána Act 2005.
