Written Answers. - Garda Manning Levels.
75.
The particulars sought in the question are set out in the following table. The precise allocation of Garda manpower to individual stations is a matter for the Garda authorities who inform me that the current strengths assigned to these stations are the maximum that can be provided at present having regard to available resources and overall demands on Garda services in the Dublin Metropolitan Area. The situation is however being kept under review.
