I am advised by the Commissioners of Public Works that there are two former Garda stations in State ownership in Co. Kildare, no former Garda Stations in State ownership in Co. Laois and one former Garda station in State ownership in Co. Offaly.

The following list shows the current status of each of the former Garda stations closed as part of An Garda Síochána's 2012 and 2013 Policing Plans in the three counties.
