I am informed by the Garda authorities that the personnel strength and the opening hours of Duleek Garda Station as at 28 February 2010, the latest date for which figures are readily available is set out in the following table.

The allocation of policing resources including personnel, in Duleek and towns of a similar size throughout the country, together with overall policing arrangements and operational strategy, is a matter for the Garda Commissioner and senior Garda Officers. Resource levels are constantly monitored, in conjunction with crime trends, population and other demands made on An Garda Síochána and the situation is kept under continuing review.
