13 Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Justice the number of gardaí posted to Mill Street Garda Barracks, Galway, on 1 April 1995; the comparative figure for 1 April 1994; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [7414/95]
The strength at Mill Street Garda station in Galway was 134 gardaí on 1 April 1995 compared to 151 gardaí on 1 April 1994. The reduction in numbers is partly due to the creation of a district headquarters at Salthill in May 1994 when 12 members of the Force were transferred there from Mill Street. Prior to that, Salthill was policed from Mill Street. When Salthill became a district headquarters it made sense to transfer the relevant gardaí there.
