Ceist:

784 Mr. Stagg asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if he intends to carry out a review of the number of 24 hour Garda stations in the State with a view to opening new 24 hour stations to reflect population changes in the State with particular emphasis on the north east Kildare towns of Maynooth, Leixlip and Celbridge; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform (Mr. McDowell)

I am informed by the Garda authorities that there are currently no plans to extend the number of Garda stations open to the public on a 24-hour basis.
