I am informed by the Garda Commissioner that the number of Gardaí stationed in Drogheda, Dundalk, Navan and Ashbourne Garda Stations in the years 2001 to 2006 are as set out in the table below.
Station | 31/12/01 | 31/12/02 | 31/12/03 | 31/12/04 | 31/12/05 | 31/12/06 |
Drogheda | 89 | 89 | 90 | 89 | 93 | 93 |
Dundalk | 99 | 96 | 97 | 101 | 101 | 109 |
Navan | 44 | 47 | 49 | 46 | 45 | 48 |
Ashbourne | 36 | 37 | 37 | 40 | 37 | 49 |
It is the responsibility of the Garda Divisional Officer to allocate personnel within his or her Division taking everything into account. The situation will be kept under review by the Garda Commissioner and when additional personnel next become available the needs of the above Garda Stations will be fully considered by him within the overall context of the needs of Garda Districts/Divisions throughout the country.
