As the Deputy will appreciate, in accordance with the Garda Síochána Act 2005, as amended, it is the Garda Commissioner who is responsible for carrying on and managing and controlling generally the administration and business of An Garda Síochána. Further, the allocation of Garda resources and distribution of personnel are a matter for the Commissioner, in light of the availability of resources and his identified operational demands. As Minister I have no direct role in the matter. I understand that Garda management keeps these matters under review in the context of crime trends and policing priorities to ensure optimum use is made of the available resources.
I have asked the Garda Commissioner for the specific information requested and I will write to the Deputy when it is to hand.
