Written answers

Parliamentary Question 525 of 20 October 2020 refers to the number of Gardaí by rank attached to each crime task force within Dublin as of 31 December 2019 and 12 October 2020 in tabular form.

As the Deputy is aware the Garda Commissioner is by law responsible for the management of An Garda Síochána, including personnel matters and deployment of resources, and as Minister I have no role in these matters. I am assured however, that Garda management keeps the distribution of resources under continual review in the context of crime trends and policing priorities, to ensure their optimum use.

I am informed by the Garda authorities that the table below sets out the number of Gardaí by rank attached to each crime task force within Dublin at 31 December 2019 and 12 October 2020.
