I am informed by the Garda authorities, who are responsible for the detailed allocation of personnel and resources to individual areas, that there are three Garda stations in County Kildare open on a 24 hour basis, namely Naas, Newbridge and Kildare.
There are no current plans to extend 24 hour opening to the other Garda stations in County Kildare, as it would necessitate the employment of Garda personnel on indoor administrative duties and such personnel could be utilised more effectively in providing a visible Garda presence on outdoor policing duties.
