Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 19 January 2022
1261. Deputy Cathal Crowe asked the Minister for Justice the number of members of An Garda Síochána by rank in each of the local electoral areas of County Clare in tabular form; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [1449/22]
View answer1263. Deputy Michael McNamara asked the Minister for Justice the number of members of An Garda Síochána in each of the local electoral areas of County Clare by rank in tabular form; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [1525/22]
View answer1266. Deputy Violet-Anne Wynne asked the Minister for Justice the number of members of An Garda Síochána in each of the local electoral areas of County Clare in each of the years 2016 to 2021, in tabular form; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [1639/22]
View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 1261, 1263 and 1266 together.
As the Deputy will be aware, under the Garda Síochána Act 2005, the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the management and administration of Garda business, including decisions related to the deployment of resources within the organisation. As Minister, I have no role in such matters. I am assured however that Garda management keeps the distribution of resources under continual review in the context of policing priorities and crime trends, to ensure their optimum use.
I have been provided by the Garda authorities with the number of Gardaí by rank attached to districts and stations in the Clare Garda Division as at 31 December 2021, which is set out in the below table.
It should be noted that the boundaries of the individual Garda Districts/Divisions are set by the Commissioner with regard to the operational need of An Garda Síochána and that they do not match or conform to the boundaries of the local electoral areas. As a result, figures are not available by local electoral area as requested.
