As the Deputy will appreciate, the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the distribution of personnel and I, as Minister, have no direct role in the matter. Garda management keeps this distribution under review in the context of crime trends and policing priorities to ensure optimum use is made of the resources.
I am advised by the Commissioner that An Garda Síochána is not in a position to provide the specific information requested by the Deputy as it would require a disproportionate amount of Garda time and resources to collate the data requested.
