Stepaside Garda Station To Reopen
Stepaside Garda Station is to re-open. It is based in the constituency of Minister Shane Ross, who has confirmed the news.
The re-opening of the station is included in a report, which also suggests re-opening Rush Garda Station and opening brand new stations at Dublin Airport and Dublin Port.
Decisions on all suggestions are understood to be unclear as the new Taoiseach chooses his Ministers, while the Office of Public Works is expected to decide when Stepaside will re-open.
Fine Gael Senator for Dublin Rathdown, Neale Richmond, said the move is "an extremely welcome measure that will be greeted with relief by many in the local community."
However, the Senator warned that the station need to be "properly resourced", and not pull from those working in surrounding stations like Dundrum, Rathfarnham or Blackrock.
