126. Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if there is currently no analyst within An Garda Síochána to examine statistics on road traffic incidents; and if a member of An Garda Síochána will urgently be appointed to this vacant position. [17027/14]
View answerAs the Deputy will appreciate, the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the distribution of personnel among the Garda Regions, Divisions, and Districts. Garda management keep this distribution under continuing review in the context of crime trends and policing priorities so as to ensure that the best possible use is made of these resources. I have been informed by the Garda Commissioner that there is currently one analyst within An Garda Síochána who examines statistics on road traffic incidents.
