I am advised by the Garda authorities that the following table shows the number of Garda cells in each of the stations comprising the Raheny and Coolock Garda Districts:

There is currently no provision for segregated cells in the Raheny or Coolock Garda Districts. However, the Criminal Justice Act 1984 (Treatment of Persons in Custody in Garda Síochána Stations) Regulations prohibit the placing of male and female prisoners in the same cell. Both District Headquarters stations have a holding area which is used for the detention of juveniles detained within the District.
