I am advised by the Garda authorities that for reasons of security, detailed information about Garda deployments in the Tralee area cannot be divulged. However, they have advised me that the policing measures in place in Tralee are deemed necessary by local Garda management and have resulted in a significant number of arrests and convictions. The amount spent on overtime from May to the end of November this year related to the operation is approximately €140,000.
