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 Fitzgibbon Street 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.
