I propose to take Questions Nos. 71 to 75, inclusive, together.

I am informed by the Garda Commissioner that as of 28 February 2009, the latest date for which figures are readily available, the personnel strengths and the Community Policing strengths of each of the Garda Stations referred to by the Deputy was as set out as follows:

Garda StationStation StrengthCommunity Policing
Cashel13-
Tipperary Town342
Cahir461
Carrick-On-Suir11-
Clonmel526

The Commissioner recently launched a new National Model of Community Policing for An Garda Síochána. This new model will build on the success of existing good community policing practice and I look forward to the implementation of this plan. A National Community Policing Office will be established within Garda Community Relations Section and and it is intended that every District Officer throughout the country will take ownership of community policing within their area of responsibility.
