I have been informed by the Garda Commissioner that the personnel strength of Raheny, Coolock, Howth and Malahide Garda Stations on 31 December 2002 to 2007 and on 30 November 2008, the latest date for which figures are readily available, was as set out in the table:

The Portmarnock area forms part of the Malahide Sub-District.

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 allocation of Gardaí to these stations will be fully considered by the Commissioner within the overall context of policing requirements throughout the country.
