I have been informed by the Garda Commissioner that the personnel strength of Bray District Drug Unit on 30 September 2008 was 5. For security reasons, it is not Garda policy to release details of specific operations. However all members of An Garda Síochána are tasked with enforcing the criminal law, including the provisions of the Misuse of Drugs Acts, 1977/84 and the Criminal Justice (Drug Trafficking) Act, 1996. In this regard operational assistance from the Divisional Drug unit and national units such as GNDU, CAB, NBCI and GBFI will be provided to the District drug unit as and when appropriate.
