I have been informed by the Garda authorities that Garda district boundaries differ from the boundaries of electoral districts and wards used by the Central Statistics Office to compile population statistics for each census. A Garda district can cover several electoral boundaries and an electoral boundary can cover more than one Garda district. The Garda Síochána has been working with the CSO on the calculation of population at Garda district level, but not at Garda sub-district or station level. Consequently, the information sought by the Deputy is not available in the detail sought.
