Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 29 September 2010
1178 Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Minister for Justice and Law Reform if he will appoint two additional full time juvenile liaison officers for a Garda station (details supplied) in Dublin 5; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [33884/10]
View answerI am informed by the Garda authorities that the number of Juvenile Liaison Officers assigned to the Dublin Metropolitan Northern Region is 11 and, of this figure, 3 are assigned to Coolock Garda Station.
Responsibility for the allocation of resources, including personnel, within the Force rests with the Garda Commissioner, in consultation with his senior management team. Resource levels are constantly monitored, in conjunction with crime trends and other demands made on An Garda Síochána, and the situation is kept under continuing review.
