I propose to take Questions Nos. 530 to 532, inclusive, together.

The personnel strength of all Garda Stations in Co. Wexford on 31 October, 2007 (the latest date for which figures are readily available) and on 31 December, 2002 and 1997 was as set out in the following table:

Area31/10/200731/12/200231/12/1997
Co. Wexford265214193

Co. Wexford is part of the Wexford/Wicklow Garda Division. The Deputy should be aware that Garda Divisional/District boundaries do not necessarily correspond to county boundaries. The Divisional headquarters for this Division is located in Wexford and any units covering the entire Division are normally based at the Divisional headquarters.

It is the responsibility of the Garda Commissioner to allocate personnel throughout the Force taking everything into account. The situation will be kept under review and when additional personnel next become available the needs of Wexford/Wicklow Garda Division will be fully considered by him within the overall context of the needs of Garda Districts/Divisions throughout the country.
