Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 23 October 2018
320. Deputy Niamh Smyth asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the number of gardaí allocated to Nobber Garda station in each of the years 2012 to 2017 and to date in 2018; the opening hours of the station in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [43493/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs the Deputy will appreciate, it is the Garda Commissioner who is responsible for the distribution of resources, including personnel and Garda station opening hours, among the various Garda Divisions 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.
For the Deputy's information, I have provided below in tabular form the opening hours of Nobber Garda Station as provided by the Commissioner which are subject to operational demands and available personnel. I understand that telephone calls outside of opening times are diverted directly to the Divisional Office at Navan.
