In reaching a decision on the closure of Garda stations, the Commissioner reviewed all aspects of the Garda Síochána's policing model, including the deployment of personnel, the utilisation of modern technologies and the level of activity in Garda Stations. The key objective of the station closures is to promote the more efficient and effective deployment of resources rather than secure specific cash savings. In this context the Commissioner has concluded that Garda resources could be better deployed and more effectively used on the frontline if these particular stations no longer had to be staffed and maintained. There are no plans to review those decisions.
