A new Garda Station will open its doors for the first time on O'Connell Street today.
Taoiseach Leo Varadkar and Garda Commissioner Drew Harris will be among those in attendance.
It's hoped the station will provide a "central, visible and permanent" location for Gardaí in the north inner city.
Local councillor and former Lord Mayor, Christy Burke, says greater visibility will be welcomed, but he has raised questions regarding staffing.
"Are they going to drain the community guard from sections of the north inner city, in order to staff that particular garda station.
Because there's seems to be a drain of garda sources, where there were community guards, they're now no longer there."
