All Gardaí have responsibility, inter alia, to be involved in Community Policing issues as and when they arise. It is the responsibility of the Garda Commissioner to allocate personnel throughout the Force taking everything into account. The situation will be kept under review and when additional personnel next become available the allocation of Community Gardaí will be fully considered within the overall context of policing requirements throughout the country.
