The Deputy will be aware that the Garda Commissioner is responsible by law for the management and administration of An Garda Síochána. The Commissioner is also responsible for the allocation and efficient use of Garda resources including the deployment of personnel. As Minister, I have no direct role in those 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.
For the Deputy's information, a breakdown of the number of Gardaí by rank attached to each station in the Cork West Division, as of the 30 April, is appended to this answer.
Detailed information in relation to Garda numbers is available on the Department of Justice website. This information is updated every month with the latest data provided by An Garda Síochána at the following link:
