Question 336: To ask the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the number of Garda stations throughout County Kildare operating on a 24-hour basis; the stations expected to become operational on such a basis in the future; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [21401/08]

The opening hours for each station in the Carlow/Kildare Garda Division were outlined in a reply to Parliamentary Question No. 530 (ref.: 9248/08) which my predecessor answered on the 4th March and the position remains unchanged. A point to bear in mind is that an increase in the opening hours of any Garda Station would necessitate the deployment of additional Garda personnel on indoor administrative duties who may be more effectively employed on outdoor policing duties.
