Martin Callinan: Close stations for ‘efficiency’.
He told the Oireachtas Justice Committee he has also recommended to Justice Minister Alan Shatter that those stations already “effectively closed” be shut down, but that it is the “minister’s call” whether or not to accept his recommendations.
Mr Callinan said closing some stations or altering the opening hours in others was being done for “efficiency and effectiveness”, but not cost reasons. He said it only costs between €2,500 and €4,000 to keep a station open and maintained for a year.
