Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 26 January 2010
388 Deputy John O’Mahony asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the number of Garda stations in each Garda district in County Mayo; the number in operation; the number of gardaí assigned to each station; the number and locations of stations that are not in use in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [3530/10]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am informed by the Garda authorities that the Garda Stations in each District in the Mayo Garda Division and the personnel strength of each is as set out in the following table. I am further informed that remedial works are being carried out at Foxford Garda station and in the interim Gardaí assigned to that station continue to provide a full Garda service to the Foxford area from Swinford Garda station. In relation to Ballyvary, I understand that arrangements have been made for the provision of a temporary Garda station which is expected to be available shortly.

The allocation of resources in An Garda Síochána, including the distribution of personnel, is a matter for the Commissioner and senior Garda Management and it is the responsibility of the Divisional Officer to allocate personnel within each Division. Garda management will continue to appraise the policing and administrative strategy employed in the Mayo Garda Division with a view to ensuring that an effective Garda service is maintained.
