Written answers

I am informed by the Garda authorities that statistics relating to Garda response times for emergency call-outs throughout the country are not readily available. In addition, I understand that compiling the relevant figures would require a significant amount of resources which are required for other Garda purposes.

The Deputy will be aware that the Commissioner is responsible for the detailed allocation of Garda resources, including personnel, throughout the organisation and I have been advised that the highest importance is given to emergency calls, to ensure that they are responded to on a priority basis. Furthermore, this is an area that is kept under on-going review and the Garda authorities are satisfied that the current service is effective in delivering efficient arrangements to communities.
