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. The 2008 Annual Policing Plan includes the Commissioner's proposal to merge Watercourse Road and the Mallow Road Garda Stations as a new Garda Station in Blackpool which will provide improved facilities for the future policing in these areas of Cork city.
