I have been informed by the Garda Commissioner that the personnel strength of the Garda National Drugs Unit, on the latest date for which figures are readily available, was 59. The GNDU is based in Dublin Castle and deployed nationally to support Divisional Drugs Units as and when required. The personnel strength of the Drugs Unit in each Division, on the latest date for which figures are readily available, was as set out in the following table.
