Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 22 May 2019
117. Deputy Maurice Quinlivan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the number of gardaí in the Henry Street district and the Roxboro road district of Limerick by rank in 2018 and to date in 2019, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [22170/19]
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.
The Garda strength of the Henry Street and Roxboro Districts from 2009 to 31 March 2019 , as provided by the Commissioner, is available on my Department’s website through the following link:
