The information requested in relation to the number of hours duty logged by members of the Garda Reserve during 2008 is not readily available and could only be obtained by a disproportionate expenditure of resources relative to the information sought.

Regulation 11(4) of the Garda Síochána (Reserve Members) Regulations 2006 states that 'A reserve member may not be required to serve more than 208 hours of duty in any 12 month period'.
