556.

asked the Minister for Justice if he will indicate in the case of each rural Garda station in the Galway West division the number of hours for which each Garda station is open to the public and has a garda in attendance.

Limerick East): I propose to take Questions Nos. 555 and 556 together.

There are 39 stations, including 6 substations, in the Galway West Garda division and their locations and opening hours are set out in the following tables. While some of these stations are located in urban centres, they also have responsibility for the policing of rural areas. In the case of the stations listed in Table II, the opening hours shown may vary from time to time having regard to the availability of manpower, local circumstances and other demands on Garda services.
