I have been informed by the Garda authorities that the civilian staffing levels for the Carriage Office in respect of the years 1998 and 1999 are not readily available.
I made further inquiries with the Garda authorities on the other aspects of the information requested by the Deputy. I will be in contact with the Deputy when this information is to hand.
