A commitment was made in the programme for Government to review the closure of Garda stations, and as part of the review there is a clear commitment to launch a pilot scheme to reopen six Garda stations, and it states this would be initiated within two months. That was ten months ago.

Get the bus.

Since the closure in my constituency of Stepaside Garda station in 2012 the community lives in constant fear, with some residents having been the victims of burglary not just once or twice, but on three occasions. The community is living in hope its station will be identified as one of the six to be reopened. This is why over the past year I have submitted a number of questions to the Minister for Justice and Equality, the most recent being last week, seeking clarity as to when the six stations will be identified, but there is still no clarity or no date given. In the Minister's most recent reply to me last week, she stated she has not received a report on any aspect of this matter from the Garda authorities. Frankly, this admission from the Minister is unacceptable. I ask the Taoiseach to seek this report and shed some light on when the announcement will be made and demand an explanation for the delay and paralysis. At the very least, will he insist on a definite timeline for same?

I assure the Deputy that the Minister, Deputy Ross, and Deputy Madigan, along with Deputy Martin, have been very consistent and persistent-----

Insistent.

The Minister, Deputy Ross, is persistent? That is a bit of an anomaly.

-----about one Garda station in the country, which is Stepaside.

Will it be one of the six?

As a result of the Deputy raising it here, I undertake to speak to the Minister for Justice and Equality to see what progress has been made on the report from the Garda Commissioner. The programme for Government is clear and it will be followed through.
