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 taking account 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 Mayo Garda Division as of the 31 May 2015, the latest date for which figures are readily available and 31 January 2011, was 304 and 313 respectively.
