As the Deputy will appreciate, the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the distribution of personnel among the Garda Regions, Divisions, and Districts. Garda management keep this distribution under continuing review in the context of crime trends and policing priorities so as to ensure that the best possible use is made of these resources.
I have received the information from the Garda Commissioner on the personnel strength by Station, District and Division and the current opening hours. I have arranged that this information which is set out in spreadsheets to be sent to the Deputy directly.
