422. To ask the Minister for Justice and Equality the current opening hours of Cabinteely Garda Station, Dublin 18; if any consideration is being given to either limit those opening hours or close the station at any point in the future; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [39239/13]

I am informed by the Garda Commissioner that the opening hours of Cabinteely Garda Station are 07:00 to 21:00 Monday to Sunday. It is important to remember that while Cabinteely Garda station is closed to the public outside these hours, it remains as a functioning Garda station on a 24 hour basis.

While the Policing plans for 2014 and 2015 have not yet been prepared, I understand that the current consolidation process will be largely completed by the end of this year and it seems unlikely at this point in time that there will be any further station closures in 2014 and 2015.
