As the Deputy will appreciate, the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the deployment of Garda personnel and for the management and organisation of Garda operational units. I am assured that Garda management keep this deployment under continuing review in the context of crime trends and policing priorities, including with respect to concerns about public order and anti-social behaviour, so as to ensure that the best possible use is made of policing resources.
I have requested the information sought by the Deputy from the Commissioner in relation to the number of Gardaí attached to the Divisional Public Order Units and I will write to him on receipt of same.
The deferred reply under Standing Order 42A was forwarded to the Deputy.
