Because of the fact that the Ballyfermot, Crumlin, Drimnagh and Inchicore areas are not co-terminous with the garda districts and sub-districts from which the areas are policed, it would be misleading to think in terms of Garda resources being allocated exclusively to those areas.
Thus, the Ballyfermot area is served from Ballyfermot and Kilmainham stations, the Crumlin area is served from Crumlin and Terenure stations, the Inchicore area is served from Kilmainham station and the Drimnagh area is served from Sundrive Road and Crumlin stations. Four of the five stations mentioned also serve other areas.
The numbers and ranks of Garda personnel at the five stations are as follows:
