Tom Enright
Question:278 Mr. Enright asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the garda strengths in each Garda station in Laois-Offaly on 1 May in each of the years from 1994 to date. [5018/00]
Written Answers. - Garda Deployment.
The Garda authorities are responsible for the detailed deployment of Garda personnel to individual areas. They have expressed concern, and I share that concern, about providing the type of detailed information sought by the Deputy on the grounds of security and in the interest of crime prevention generally. I propose, therefore, to provide the Deputy with the information on a district basis for the period concerned.
