429. Deputy Johnny Mythen asked the Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration the amount of full-time and part-time Garda stations in County Wexford; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [67873/25]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Garda Commissioner is responsible for the management and administration of An Garda Síochána under Section 33 of the Policing, Security and Community Safety Act 2024, which includes all operational policing matters and the distribution and stationing of Garda personnel, including opening hours of Garda Stations, throughout the State. The Commissioner is independent in the performance of his functions under Section 34 of the Act and, as Minister, I have no role in these independent functions.
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.

The Deputy may wish to note that within County Wexford I understand that there are four Garda stations which operate 24/7.
In relation to Garda stations which are not open to the public on a 24/7 basis, telephone calls to a station during periods of closure are automatically routed to the nearest 24-hour station in the Community Engagement Area.
In cases of emergency, any person should call the 999 or 112 emergency service for an urgent Garda response.
