Vol. 536 No. 3
214 Mr. Timmins asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if he will provide a breakdown of Garda strength by county; the percentage of gardaí who are stationed in towns with a population of over 1,000; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [14161/01]
I am informed by the Garda authorities, who are responsible for the detailed allocation of gardaí to individual areas, that the Garda divisional, district and sub-district boundaries do not correlate to county and town boundaries and, as such, it is not possible to supply the information sought by the Deputy in the format requested.
