Written answers

As 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 personnel strength of Lusk Garda station on 30 April 2012, 2013, 2014 and 28 February 2015 the latest dates for which figures are readily available is as set out in the table below. The Commissioner has also informed me that no member from Lusk Garda station availed of a career break, paid or unpaid maternity leave, carer’s leave or any form of unpaid special leave in excess of 13 weeks between 01 April 2012 and the 01 April 2015.
