The allocation of Garda resources, including the distribution of personnel, is a matter for the Garda Commissioner and senior Garda management. They are aided in this by a distribution model which indicates the most effective means of distributing Garda personnel and acts as a guide to Garda management decision making. It takes into account different policing variables, including crime trends, socio-economic factors, and census information. The areas referred to by the Deputy are in the Southern Division of the Dublin Metropolitan Region. I will update the Deputy with the latest strength of the Garda Districts policing these areas as soon as they are to hand.
