Quick gander at it, and you can download a KMZ file of all the
locations and names here (
http://www.garda.ie/Documents/User/Garda_Stations.kmz ), and that if
you know the Station Ref, you can get the detail from this URL: (
http://www.garda.ie/Stations/Map.aspx?gardaKMZFilename=Garda_Stations.kmz&Mode=gardaUseDOM&Args=$REF
). So maybe we could scrap it.

Or they could give us a database.

Fingal County Council are always ahead of the game here, and have
released the data in their CoCo:
