Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 18 September 2018
299. Deputy John Curran asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the number of gardaí stationed in Clondalkin, Ronanstown, Lucan and Rathcoole Garda stations, respectively; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [37478/18]
View answerAs the Deputy will appreciate, it is the Garda Commissioner who is responsible for the distribution of resources, including personnel, among the various Garda Divisions and I, as Minister, have no direct role in the matter. Garda management keeps this distribution of resources under continual review in the context of crime trends and policing priorities so as to ensure that the optimum use is made of these resources.
The information requested by the Deputy as provided by the Garda Commissioner, is available on my Department’s website through the following link: http://www.justice.ie/en/JELR/002_Garda_Numbers_by_Division_District_and_Station_2009_to_31_July_2018.xlsx/Files/002_Garda_Numbers_by_Division_District_and_Station_2009_to_31_July_2018.xlsx.
