The opening of Garda stations is in the first instance a matter for the Garda Commissioner in the context of preparing her annual policing plan under section 22 of the Garda Síochána Act 2005, which requires any proposals relating to the opening or closing of Garda Stations to be included in the plan. The Policing Plan 2015 does not contain any plans in relation to the opening of Garda stations.
