Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 14 May 2019
207. Deputy Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the number of Garda juvenile liaison officers attached to each Garda division in each of the years 2009 to 2018 and to date in 2019, in tabular form. [20474/19]
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.
Garda Juvenile Liaison Officers (JLOs) are specially trained to fulfil a key role in implementing the Garda Diversion Programme. Their role includes the administration of formal and informal cautions as well as appropriate supervision of children who have been admitted to the Diversion Programme, as provided in Part 4 of the Children Act 2001.
For the Deputy's information I have set out in the table attached the information requested which is currently not available on our website.
