Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform (Mr. O'Donoghue):

I am informed by the Garda authorities that there are 31 Garda stations in the Carlow/Kildare division. A total of five stations operate on a 24 hour basis and 26 stations operate the "green man" system which is in operation at these stations when the station is unattended.

I am also informed by the Garda authorities that the statistics sought in relation to the number of calls for these operations is not available.
