In the programme for Government, under crime and prevention, the Government promised to reopen some Garda stations which had been closed by the previous Government. On 19 December 2017, the Government announced the reopening of six Garda stations, including Ballinspittle Garda station in my constituency. When will Ballinspittle Garda station in west Cork be open to the public? People are calling for it to open.

My understanding is that good progress is being made on all six Garda stations, including Stepaside Garda station, as the Minister, Deputy Madigan, has reminded me. There has been much commentary on the reopening of Stepaside Garda station. My understanding is that the plan is to move ahead quickly with the reopening of these Garda stations. I can get the details on Ballinspittle Garda station if that is helpful.
