Amharc ar fhreagra419 Mr. Naughten asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the crime statistics for the Roscommon district in the Roscommon-Galway East division for each year from 2000 to 2004; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [14117/05]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 413 to 419, inclusive, together.
I have been informed by the Garda authorities that Roscommon and Strokestown Garda subdistricts are included in the Garda district of Roscommon. Elphin and Boyle Garda subdistricts are included in the Garda district of Boyle. Ballaghaderreen and Castlerea are in the Castlerea Garda district. Ballinasloe Garda district includes parts of County Roscommon and County Galway. Each of the ten headline offences listed in the following tables contains different individual offences and these can be found in more detail in the relevant Garda annual reports for the years in question. It is also important to note that the statistics provided for 2004 are provisional and are, therefore, subject to validation and change.
Furthermore, I understand from the Garda authorities that the personnel strength of the Roscommon-Galway East Garda division as at 28 April 2005 was 252 — all ranks. The establishment of a full-time Garda station in the south Roscommon area would necessitate the deployment of Garda personnel on indoor administrative duties and that such personnel can be utilised more effectively in providing a visible Garda presence on outdoor policing duties.
