Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 16 October 2018
294. Deputy Gerry Adams asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the number of Garda personnel attached to the national domestic homicide team; and the number of cases this team reviewed in each of the past five years. [41980/18]
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.
I have requested the information sought from the Garda Commissioner and I will write to the Deputy on receipt of same.
