Amharc ar fhreagraI have requested the Garda Inspectorate to examine and report on how the allocation of Garda resources can be improved. This will include an examination of all current resource allocation systems for members of An Garda Síochána, including rostering, to see how well resources are made available to match demand for services and other operational requirements. The Inspectorate is currently undertaking its examination and I am advised that they expect to report in the new year.
