I propose to take Questions Nos. 404 to 409, inclusive, together.

I have made inquiries with the Garda authorities regarding the information requested by the Deputy. The information requested is set out in the following tables.

I am informed by the Garda authorities that the tables show the headline crime by groups from 2000 to 2004 for the Garda districts of Crumlin, Clondalkin, Kevin Street and Terenure. Kilmainham Garda station is included in the Kevin Street Garda district figures. Ballyfermot Garda station is included in the Clondalkin Garda district figures and Sundrive Road Garda station is included in the Crumlin Garda district figures. Comparable statistics for the years 1997 to 1999 are not available.

The personnel strength for each Garda station is set out in the following tables for the years 1997 to 2004.
