I am informed by the Garda Authorities that there are a total of 703 Garda Stations in the State. A full list of Garda Stations, listed by Division, is available at www.garda.ie. I am advised by the Garda authorities that the historical data requested by the Deputy is not readily available and would require a manual search of archived records. The compilation of such information would involve a disproportionate amount of Garda time and resources which could not be justified in the circumstances.
