I propose to take Questions Nos. 337 and 338 together.
Garda District boundaries in the Dublin Metropolitan Region are not coterminous with Dublin postcodes and it is therefore not possible to provide the information exactly as the Deputy requests. However, I am informed by the Garda authorities that the personnel strength of each Garda Station and its corresponding post code is as shown in the attached table. It should be noted that in 2007 Community Policing statistics were compiled on a quarterly basis only and therefore I have provided those statistics for the end of September 2007.
