I have been informed by the Garda Commissioner that the personnel strength of Manorhamilton Garda District and Garda Station on 29 February, 2008, the latest date for which figures are readily available, was 50 and 26 respectively.

The Deputy will appreciate that, as with any large organisation, on any given day, personnel strengths of individual divisions, districts and stations may fluctuate due, for example, to promotions, retirements and transfers. It is the responsibility of the Garda Commissioner to allocate personnel throughout the Force taking everything into account. In that regard, the needs of the Garda District referred to by the Deputy will be fully considered by the Commissioner within the overall context of the needs of Garda Districts throughout the country.
