131. To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality the number of Garda stations that have been closed in the Cavan-Monaghan Garda division in the past decade in tabular form; if An Garda Síochána has plans for the remaining stations in State ownership; his plans in this regard; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I have been advised by the Commissioners of Public Works that two former Garda Station buildings in County Cavan have been sold.  These are Finea and Tullyvin.

No former Garda stations in County Monaghan have been sold.

The former Garda station at Shantonagh, Co. Monaghan was a leased property and this lease was surrendered following the closure of the station.

The following table sets out the position with the remaining former Garda stations that remain in State ownership.

* The old Garda station at Stradone, Co. Cavan closed in 2002. This property is surplus to requirements and is being prepared for disposal.
