88. To ask the Minister for Justice and Equality the number of Garda Síochána stations in the Dublin metropolitan region which are not open on a 24-hour basis but which have a garda present for the purposes of minding the station during the hours when it is closed in tabular form. [21434/16]

The Deputy will appreciate that decisions in relation to Garda station opening hours are a matter for the Garda Commissioner and I, as Minister, have no direct role in the matter.

I am advised by the Garda authorities that there are thirteen Garda stations in the Dublin Metropolitan Region which are currently not open to the public 24-hours a day, however Garda personnel allocated to those stations are deployed on a 24-hour basis, including the period the Garda Station is closed to the public. The following table details the opening hours of the stations concerned:
