Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 25 March 2015
105. Deputy Seán Ó Fearghaíl asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if she will report on the deployment of Garda reservists at Garda stations throughout County Kildare; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [12216/15]
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 the number of Garda Reservists in County Kildare on the 31 January 2015, the latest date for which figures are readily available are as set out in the following table.
