John V. Farrelly

Ceist:

90 Mr. Farrelly asked the Minister for Justice the number of gardaí posted to a Garda station (details supplied) in County Meath on (a) 1 January 1990 (b) 1 January 1991 (c) 1 June 1991 and (d) 1 July 1991; and if he intends to increase the number serving at this station at present.

Minister for Justice (Mr. Burke)

The particulars sought in the question are set out in the following table:

Date	Garda strength
1 January 1990	12
1 January 1991	12
1 June 1991	14
1 July 1991	14

Two additional gardaí were assigned to this station on 17 May 1991. The Garda authorities are satisfied that the current policing needs of the subdistrict are being adequately met and inform me that they have no plans to further increase the Garda strength at this station at present.
