As I informed the Deputy in reply to Question No. 192, which was for answer on 7 December, 2005, I have been informed by the Garda authorities, who are responsible for the detailed allocation of resources, including personnel, that the information requested is not readily available in the detail sought. I will communicate further with the Deputy when the Garda authorities have compiled the information to the extent that it is practical to do so. In this regard, I expect to be in a position to respond to the Deputy next week.
