Question 250: To ask the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the steps he has taken or proposes to take to extend the opening hours of the various Garda stations throughout County Kildare; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [27776/07]

The opening hours of Garda Stations is a matter for the Garda Commissioner but a general point which should be borne in mind is that an extension in the opening hours of any particular Garda Station would necessitate the employment of additional Garda personnel on indoor administrative duties who might be far more effectively employed on outdoor policing duties.
