The existence of these so-called Chinese 'police stations' has been the subject of scrutiny both here and internationally.

I can inform the Deputy that my Department is aware of the 'Fuzhou Police Overseas Service Station' which was located on Capel Street in Dublin. I understand that following engagement between the Department of Foreign Affairs and the Chinese Embassy, the activities of the office have ceased.
