Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 12 May 2015
414. Deputy Michael McGrath asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if she will provide for each of the years 2000, 2005 and 2010, and for 2015 to date, the Garda numbers for each of the Garda districts in Cork city and county; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [18576/15]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs the Deputy will appreciate, the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the distribution of personnel among the Garda Regions, Divisions, and Districts. Garda management keep this distribution under continuing review in the context of crime trends and policing priorities so as to ensure that the best possible use is made of these resources.
I have received the information from the Garda Commissioner on the personnel strength for each Division and District and station in county Cork for the years ending 31 December 2000, 2005, 2010 and on 31 March 2015, the latest date for which figures are readily available. I have arranged that this information which is set out in spreadsheets be sent to the Deputy directly.
