Written answers

I have been informed by the Garda authorities, who are responsible for the detailed allocation of resources, including personnel, that the Inishowen peninsula is policed by the Buncrana Garda district and includes the Garda stations of Buncrana, Burnfoot, Carndonagh, Clonmany, Culdaff, Malin, Moville and Muff.

The personnel strength of the Buncrana Garda district as at the 14 and 15 of May 2004 was 73, all ranks. The personnel strength of the Buncrana Garda district on the 16 May 2004 was 72, all ranks. There are eight official Garda vehicles attached to the Buncrana Garda district.

I have been informed by the Garda authorities that for security and operational reasons it is not Garda policy to disclose the number of gardaí working in any area over a specific period of time.
