Vol. 509 No. 2
134 Mr. Lawlor asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the proposed increases, if any, in Garda numbers when the new District Garda Headquarters in Clondalkin, Dublin 22, is completed; and the current staffing levels at Clondalkin and Ronanstown stations. [20042/99]
The detailed allocation of Garda personnel and resources to an individual area is a matter for the Garda authorities who have informed me that the current personnel strength of Clondalkin and Ronanstown Garda stations, as of 30 September 1999, is as follows: Clondalkin – 60 members, all ranks, and Ronanstown – 58 members, all ranks.
The Garda authorities have also informed me that, on completion of the new Garda District Headquarters in Clondalkin, it is envisaged that the superintendent and other personnel from the existing district headquarters at Ballyfermot will transfer to the new district headquarters at Clondalkin. It is not, however, possible at this stage to say exactly how many personnel will transfer. The Garda authorities further inform me that it is not proposed to allocate additional personnel to Clondalkin at present but that the situation will be kept under review.
