The allocation of Garda personnel and resources to different areas is the responsibility of the Garda authorities. They have informed me that the Cherry Orchard-Gallanstown area is policed by the gardaí assigned to Ballyfermot station. The Garda strength — all ranks as of 31 January 1997 — for the "L" district which has Ballyfermot as its district headquarters is 245 members.
