I have been informed by the Garda Commissioner that the personnel strength of the National Drugs Unit on 31 October 2008, the latest date for which it is readily available, was 343. For operational and security reasons it is not Garda policy to disclose the number of Gardaí detailed for specific duties over any specific period of time.
