Imelda Munster (SF), Louth

Last month it was announced that east Meath would be added to the Drogheda Garda boundary. The Minister for Justice at that time had said that Laytown Garda station might be refurbished and we would see an increase in Garda numbers. I sent a parliamentary question to the Minister a couple of weeks ago looking for details of the plan. She did not answer the question. I put the very same question to the Garda Commissioner and the response I got was that there have been no discussions relating to the realignment of Garda boundaries between east Meath and Drogheda and there has been no discussion of additional funding for the Drogheda Garda division. Which is it? Is it actually happening? Who is right, the Minister or the Garda Commissioner?
