The detailed allocation of Garda resources and the designation of areas to be covered by any individual Garda District are matters for the Garda Commissioner to decide in accordance with his identified operational requirements. As set out in the 2008 Policing Plan, which I recently approved before laying it before both Houses of the Oireachtas, An Garda Síochána plans to carry out an examination this year of Divisions and Districts within the Dublin Metropolitan Region in light of demographic and infrastructural changes and for the purposes of alignment with the four local authority areas. I am informed by the Garda Authorities that the coverage by the Force of the Ongar area of west Dublin forms part of these deliberations.
