I do not have the information to hand on Kanturk Garda station, but I will be happy to provide it for the Deputy directly in the next few days. According to the information I have on Garda numbers from December 2009 to this year for the Cork north division, that division now has its highest number of gardaí since 2008, at a total of 326 as of February. The number was 324 in 2017, 316 in 2016, 298 in 2015, 297 in 2014 and so on. I will provide the table for the Deputy. I am pleased that funding is in place to maintain a high level of investment in the Garda workforce. This year 800 further Garda recruits will enter the Garda College. Some of them will be allocated to stations in the north Cork region.
