View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 331 to 334, inclusive, together.
I have been informed by the Garda authorities who are responsible for the detailed allocation of resources, including personnel, that the personnel strength of the Garda Síochána in the Dublin metropolitan region as at 21 April 2004 was 3,742, including all ranks.
For security and operational reasons it is not Garda policy to disclose the number of Garda personnel on duty in a particular station at any given time.
