Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform

The reopening of Ballinspittle Garda Station is scheduled for mid-2019. The Office of Public Works is about to tender for the necessary works that are based on the approved Garda Síochána 'brief of requirements'.

It is an operational matter for An Garda Síochána to determine Garda numbers and policing needs for the area.
