I have been informed by the Garda authorities, which are responsible for the detailed allocation of resources, including personnel, that the current personnel strength, all ranks, of Kevin Street Garda station as at 31 May 2005 is 119.

It is the responsibility of the divisional officer for the Dublin metropolitan region to allocate personnel within the division, including Kevin Street Garda station. The situation will be kept under review and when additional resources become available the needs of Kevin Street Garda Station will be fully considered within the overall context of the needs of Garda stations throughout the country.
