Donal Carey

Question:

54 Mr. Carey asked the Minister for Justice if he has had discussions with the Garda Commissioner regarding the number of Garda superintendents assigned to the Donegal division and the Cavan/Monaghan/Louth division; if he has satisfied himself with the number of Garda superintendents on duty in these divisions at weekends; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Minister for Justice (Mr. Burke)

The detailed deployment of Garda manpower is a matter for the Garda authorities. They inform me that there is an adequate number of Garda superintendents available for duty at all times, including weekends, in the Donegal, Cavan/Monaghan and Louth/Meath Garda divisions.
