I am informed by the Garda authorities that the Central Statistics Office are presently examining the 2006 Census of Population figures in relation to Small Area Population Statistics (SAPS). It is not expected that these SAPS figures will be available until mid November 2007. It is, therefore, not yet possible to provide population figures for each Garda Division based on the 2006 Census figures.
