Shane Ross criticised over reopening of Stepaside Garda Station

Independent Alliance Minister Shane Ross has been criticised after the reopening of Stepaside Garda Station was announced.

Mr Ross took to Twitter with a picture message of a large banner outside the closed station heralding its reopening.

It later emerged that the reopening of a small number of other stations is to be deferred, which has led to claims of favourable treatment for Mr Ross’ pet project.
