Stepaside station re-opeing debate has become ‘a circus’

A purpose-built Garda station in Stepaside will be ready within the next 12 months at a cost of €1m but a debate around the reopening of the south Dublin station has turned into a “circus”.

That is according to Justice Minister Charlie Flanagan, who, in an interview with the Irish Examiner, criticised public rows over Stepaside Garda Station, one of 139 stations shut during the recession.
