181 Ms M. Fox asked the Minister for Justice the number of gardaí employed on regular shift hours, excluding special services and community gardaí, in the Greystones station of County Wicklow; the comparative figure six months ago; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [11028/96]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 178, 179, 180 and 181 together.
The deployment of Garda personnel and resources to individual areas is a matter for the Garda authorities. They are not in favour of providing the detailed information sought by the Deputy on a station basis on the grounds of security and crime prevention generally and I am in agreement with this. I am providing the information on a district basis in the following tabular format.
It should be noted that Rathdrum station is in the Wicklow district and that Greystones is in Bray district. I would also like to point out that the figures given do not take account of additional patrolling and services available from adjoining stations within the respective divisions.
