I propose to take Questions Nos. 415 and 417 together.
As the Deputy is aware, the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the detailed allocation of resources, including personnel, throughout the organisation and I have no 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 been informed by the Garda Commissioner that the personnel strength of each Garda Station in the Louth Garda Division and Meath Garda Division on 30 September 2013, the latest date for which figures are readily available, was as set out in the table.
