Ceist:154 Mr. Naughten asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the plans he has to review Garda divisions and the deployment of Garda personnel. [21854/01]
Written Answers. - Garda Deployment.
I presume the Deputy is referring to the review of Garda structures and operating systems currently under way as part of the strategic management initiative in the Garda Síochána. This consultant assisted review commenced in December 2000 and will be completed by the end of 2001. I understand that the final report will include, inter alia, recommendations on the appropriate structure and functions of HQ, regions, districts and divisions. The recommendations brought forward in the final report will be considered in the first instance by the Garda SMI steering group and ultimately by Government.
