I am informed by the Garda authorities that the number of Gardaí assigned to community policing duties in each Dublin District, as at the 31 December 2008 was as set out in the following table.

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 the Community Policing Units referred to by the Deputy will be fully considered by the Commissioner within the overall context of policing requirements throughout the country.
