I have been informed by the Garda authorities, who are responsible for the detailed allocation of Garda resources including personnel, that the current personnel strength of the Garda station in question is two gardaí. The allocation of personnel within a division is a matter for the local chief superintendent. I am further informed by Garda management that the situation will be kept under review and when the next group of newly promoted sergeants is being allocated, the needs of the Donegal division will be fully considered within the overall context of the needs of Garda divisions throughout the country.
