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

I propose to take Questions Nos. 397, 448 to 453, inclusive, and 471 together.

I am informed by the Commissioner that the personnel strength and the opening hours of each Garda Station throughout the country on the latest date for which figures are readily available are as per the following tables. The Deputies should be aware that an increase in the opening hours of Garda stations which are not already open on a 24/7 basis would necessitate the employment of additional Garda personnel on indoor duties who may be more effectively employed on outdoor policing duties.
