Written answers

I propose to take Questions Nos. 525 to 529, inclusive, together.

The Deputy will be aware that the Commissioner is responsible for the detailed allocation of resources, including personnel, throughout the organisation and I have no direct function in the matter. This allocation of resources is constantly monitored in the context of crime trends, policing needs and other operational strategies in place on a District, Divisional and Regional level to ensure optimum use is made of Garda resources and the best possible Garda service is provided to the public.

I have been informed by the Garda Commissioner that there are no JobBridge staff, outsourced or temporary staff employed by the Garda Bureau of Fraud Investigations (G.B.F.I.). There are two forensic accountants employed on a full time basis, 72 Gardaí and 13 civilians attached to the G.B.F.I. There are three personnel with forensic accountant qualifications employed at the Criminal Assets Bureau.
