Maynooth and Celbridge have their own Garda stations which will continue to service those areas. Leixlip is at present policed from Lucan Garda Station, but it is intended to provide a station in Leixilip which will be a sub-station of Lucan.
It is the intention that the new Leixlip sub-station should be opened as soon as suitable premises can be found. This is a matter for the Commissioners of Public Works and they have not to date been successful in procuring suitable accommodation.
