Deputy O'Reilly might preface her remarks by indicating whether she is asking about promised legislation or the programme for Government.

The programme for Government contains a commitment to reopen six Garda stations on a pilot scheme basis. Recently, it was mooted that Rush Garda station would be one of those. The Minister's colleagues in Fine Gael and his very best friends in Fianna Fáil were tweeting about it, but we are, in truth, no wiser as to what Garda stations will be reopened other than the station in Stepaside. We all know that Stepaside Garda station will be reopened. When will people throughout the country know what other Garda stations will be reopened? Can the Minister give us an assurance that equity and equality will be applied to that in terms of a rural-urban split and a geographic spread?

I thank the Deputy for observing the time.

The idea of opening six Garda stations on a pilot basis was part of the programme for Government. It is for the Commissioner to select those that are most appropriate. I understand Stepaside Garda station was indicated as being appropriate and is in the course of being opened; the planning for that is being done.

The others will depend on a report to Government from the Commissioner, which I believe is due shortly. I know Rush Garda station was one that was signalled as being a potential one. The Government expects that report shortly.
