I have been informed by the Garda authorities, which are responsible for the detailed allocation of Garda resources including personnel that the female garda previously attached to the Sligo-Leitrim divisional drugs unit has been allocated to detective duties in that division with effect from 14 February 2005. I have been further informed that the member of the force in question is still available to participate in operations targeting drug-related crimes, as members from the detective branch crime unit and divisional drugs unit come under the direct control of the detective inspector for the division. The strength of the drug units is regularly reviewed and adjusted as required.
