asked the Minister for Justice if he will consider reopening Glanworth Garda station, County Cork.

(Limerick East): As the Deputy is aware, it is close on 30 years since there was a Garda station in Glanworth. The Garda authorities consider that the current policing arrangements for the Glanworth area provide a reasonably adequate service and that, given the proximity of the four Garda stations at Fermoy, Kildorrery, Castletownroche and Kilworth, the re-opening of a Garda station in Glanworth would not be warranted.
