I am informed by the Garda authorities, who are responsible for the day-to-day allocation of resources, including personnel, that the current personnel strength of Kiltealy Garda station is one Garda. The station is open to the public from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m., Monday to Saturday, inclusive. When the station is not open, personal access call box and call diversion systems are in operation which are linked to the district headquarters at Enniscorthy Garda station. I am further informed by the Garda authorities that the extension of the current opening hours to 24 hours would necessitate the employment of Garda personnel on indoor administrative duties and it is considered that such personnel can be utilised more effectively in providing a visible Garda presence on outdoor policing duties.
