Question mark over Malahide Garda Station

In reply to a question by Senator Darragh O'Brien on the future of Malahide Garda Station, Minister Brian Hayes said: 'The Garda Commissioner is reviewing all aspects of the Garda Síochána's policing model, including the deployment of personnel, the utilisation of modern technologies and the operation of Garda stations, in terms of opening hours and possible closures.

'The purpose of the review is to ensure that Garda resources are managed and deployed in the most appropriate manner to meet existing and emerging policing requirements and to maintain Garda front line services, which is entirely consistent with Government policy. Clearly, an examination of the opening hours, and in some cases the viability, of stations forms part of this.'

'A final decision on whether station closures will take place, and if so what stations, will be taken in the context of the Commissioner's draft policing plan for 2012 and will be announced shortly. Therefore, I cannot directly answer Senator O'Brien's question on behalf of the Minister.
