Written answers

Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform (Deputy Dermot Ahern)

I propose to take Questions Nos. 375 to 377, inclusive, together.

I am informed by the Garda authorities that no Garda Stations have been closed in the counties of Cork, Kerry, Clare, Galway, Roscommon, Sligo, Mayo, Leitrim and Donegal in the past six years. There is a proposal to merge the Garda Stations of Mallow Road and Watercourse Road in the Cork City Division included in the Annual Policing Plan for 2008. I am further informed by the Garda authorities that as of 31 August 2008, the latest date for which figures are readily available, the personnel strength and the opening hours of each Garda Station in the Divisions referred to by the Deputy are contained in the following table.
