asked the Minister for Justice if he has received representations from the residents in the Gurranabraher/Churchfield/Farranree area of Cork city requesting the provision of a Garda station; and the action, if any, that has been taken in the matter.

I have received representations on the lines indicated in the question. It is proposed to erect a Garda station in the Gurranabraher area of Cork city and the Office of Public Works are, at present, seeking a suitable site for the new station.
