Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 16 July 2013
858. Deputy Niall Collins asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if the position of Garda crime prevention officer in the Tipperary Garda division has been filled; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [34289/13]
Amharc ar fhreagraI have been informed by the Garda Commissioner that the Crime Prevention Officer position in the Tipperary Division has been vacant since 2010. I have been informed by the Commissioner that, notwithstanding this, the crime prevention function of An Garda Síochána has not been adversely affected as crime prevention and personal security advice is being provided by appropriate Divisional resources. Where more indepth specialist advices are required, the services of the Divisional Crime Prevention Officer from the neighbouring Waterford Garda Division are utilised.
