I am informed by the Garda authorities that as of the 31 May 2009, the latest date for which figures are readily available, the personnel strength of the Garda station referred to by the Deputy was one Sergeant and three Gardaí. Resource levels are monitored on an ongoing basis by Garda Management in each District and Division, in conjunction with crime trends and other demands made on An Garda Síochána. The situation will be kept under review by the Garda authorities and the needs of the areas referred to by the Deputy will be fully considered within the overall context of the needs of policing requirements throughout the country.
