I am advised by the Garda authorities that due to its condition it is necessary to temporarily vacate the station referred to by the Deputy to facilitate refurbishment. During this period, Garda personnel will operate from facilities provided in Mountjoy Garda station. I am assured by the Garda authorities that current policing levels will be maintained during this period and there will be no diminution of service being provided to the community. I am not aware of any proposals to close the Garda station in question and indeed any such proposal would, in the first instance, have to be made by the Garda Commissioner in the context of the Annual Policing Plans as provided for under Section 22 of the Garda Síochána Act 2005.
