I propose to take Questions Nos. 471 and 472 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.
I have however been informed by the Garda Commissioner that the personnel strength of each Garda Station in the Dublin 2, 4, 6 and 8 areas, on 31 December 2012, the latest date for which figures are readily available, was as set out in the following table. The table also shows the number of Community gardaí in those stations as of the end of each year. There are no detailed statistics readily available at this time for 2013.

Additional resources, such as transport equipment etc., are made available to each Garda Station depending on the particular requirements of that station and the areas it covers. Other resources and support services are made available to local Garda Stations from the Divisional and Regional headquarters as and when required.
