Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 20 April 2016
212. Deputy Fiona O'Loughlin asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the number of gardaí in every Garda station in south County Kildare on 23 April 2015 and each year since 2006, in tabular form; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [7344/16]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs the Deputy will appreciate, the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the distribution of resources, including personnel, among the various Garda Divisions and Districts and I, as Minister, have no direct role in the matter. Garda management keeps this distribution of resources under continual review in the context of crime trends and policing priorities so as to ensure that the optimum use is made of these resources.
I have been informed by the Garda Commissioner that the strength of each Garda station in the Kildare Garda Division on the 31 December 2006 - 2015, and on the 29 February 2016 being the latest date for which figures are readily available was as set out in the following table. The Deputy should be aware that Ballytore, Kill and Ballymore Eustace Garda stations closed in 2013. The number of Gardaí in every station in south Co. Kildare on 23 April 2015 is not readily available.
