As the Deputy will appreciate, it is the Garda Commissioner who is primarily responsible for the effective and efficient use of resources available to An Garda Síochána. The Commissioner is also responsible for all operational matters such as the opening hours of Garda stations, taking into account crime trends and policing priorities. As Minister, I have no role in relation to that matter.
The Deputy will appreciate that it has been necessary for the Department to request the relevant information from the Garda Commissioner so as to respond to his question. I understand that a response will issue to the Deputy as soon as possible.
