As the Deputy will be aware, under the Garda Síochána Act 2005 (as amended), the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the administration and management of An Garda Síochána, including all decisions related to the opening hours of individual Garda stations and all human resource matters. As Minister, I have no role in such matters.
I am advised by the Garda authorities that as of 30 September 2023, the latest date for when figures are available, there were 5 Gardaí assigned to the Monasterevin Garda Station. This compares favourably to the end of December 2015 when there were 4 Gardaí assigned to the Monasterevin Garda Station.
I am advised that Monasterevin Garda Station is open from 10am to 1pm seven days a week. The station is a part of the Kildare District, which provides the policing service for Kildare town and surrounds.
