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 Clondalkin, Lucan and Ronanstown form part of the Dublin Metropolitan Region (DMR) West Division, which as of 30 April 2015, the latest date for which figures are available has a total strength of 683. There are also 60 Garda Reserves and 45 Civilians attached to the Division. The number of Gardaí assigned to Clondalkin, Lucan and Ronanstown Garda stations on 31 May, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and on 30 April 2015 was as set out in the table:
