As the Deputy will be aware, the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the management and administration of Garda business under Section 26 of the Garda Síochána Act 2005 (as amended), which includes the management of the Garda Estate. As Minister, I have no role in such matters.
The Government is committed to ensuring that An Garda Síochána has the resources it needs to fight crime and a strengthened, well-resourced Garda organisation is central to this policy. An Garda Síochána's budget allocation is over €2.48 billion for this year, a 27% increase since 2020 which is supporting the continued recruitment of Garda members and staff.
I am informed by the Garda authorities that there are a total of 13 Garda Stations in County Louth. Two Garda Stations are open to the public 24 hours a day in County Louth, and the remaining 11 stations are open to the public on a part-time basis.
In the interest of transparency, information in relation to the opening hours of individual Garda Stations is publicly available and can be found at the following link:
