Written Answers. - County Westmeath Garda Station.
44.
Decisions as to the detailed deployment of members of the force are matters primarily for the Garda authorities, who have informed me that the filling of the vacancy for a sergeant at Multyfarnham station was not considered to be a priority having regard to the needs of other areas but that it is expected that a sergeant will be available to take up duty at Multyfarnham in about a month's time.
