330 Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the reason there are only two gardaí available for ordinary duties each night shift in the Coolock area. [19361/03]
I am informed by the Garda authorities, who are responsible for the day to day allocation of resources, that the personnel strength of Coolock Garda station as at 1 July 2003 is 84, all ranks. Local Garda management is satisfied that it is incorrect to state that there are only two gardaí available for ordinary duties each nightshift in the Coolock area and that resources at Coolock Garda station are adequate to perform all duties, including nightshifts.
