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 his annual policing plans, as provided for in section 22 of the Garda Síochána Act 2005.

I have been advised by the Garda authorities that, with the opening of the new Garda station in Ballymun in September 2008, the Divisional Headquarters has been located there. Since then Santry Garda Station continues to operate as a station in the DMR North Division and there are no plans to change the position at this time.
