23.

asked the Minister for Justice if he will state in respect of (1) Garda stations and (2) Garda sub-stations in County Waterford (a) the number of them, (b) the location of each, (c) the number of officers and gardaí in each, (d) the number equipped with two-way radio sets and (e) the number of vehicles at the disposal of each as at June, 1960, and June, 1969.

24.

asked the Minister for Justice if he will state in respect of each Garda station and substation in County Waterford (a) the total population served and (b) the area, in square miles, served.

25.

asked the Minister for Justice the total Garda force in County Waterford as at June, 1960, and June, 1969.

With your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, I propose to take Questions Nos. 23, 24 and 25 together.

It would not be in the public interest to disclose the exact disposition of radio equipment and vehicles as requested by the Deputy. The total number of two-way radio sets in use in County Waterford is 11. The total number of vehicles in use in June, 1960, was four and the total in use in June, 1969, was ten and the total numbers of personnel for these dates were 137 and 145.

The balance of the information sought is in the form of a tabular statement, which, again with your permission, Sir, I propose to have circulated with the Official Report.

Following is the statement:—
