Written answers

For policing purposes the country is divided into six regions, each of which is commanded by a regional assistant commissioner. The duties of the regional assistant commissioners are mainly operational. They are responsible for ensuring the operational efficiency of their respective region and, in particular, the quality of operational management exercised by their respective divisional and district officers. Each region is divided into divisions commanded by a chief superintendent, and each division is then divided into districts commanded by a superintendent, assisted by a number of inspectors. Garda divisions do not necessarily correspond to county boundaries. Galway west Garda division comprises the Garda districts of Galway, Clifden, Loughrea, Salthill, and Gort.
