Andrew Doyle

Question:

1022. Deputy Andrew Doyle asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if he will provide current figures detailing the total deployment of gardaí for the Wicklow division in the eastern region, divided down into districts, sub-districts and stations across the county in view of demographics, crime trends, policing needs and other operational strategies as set down by the Garda Commissioner; if he will provide figures in tabular form and compare them with 2011 and 2012 figures for the same Wicklow division, districts, sub-districts and stations; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Written answers

The Deputy will be aware that the Garda 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 demographics, 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 however been informed by the Garda Commissioner that the personnel strength of every Garda Station and District in the Wicklow Division broken down by rank on 31 August 2011, 2012 and 2013 is set out in the following table.
