I have been informed by the Garda Commissioner that the personnel strength of Tallaght Garda Station, on the latest date for which figures are readily available, was 202. Tallaght Garda Station forms part of the DMR South Division and on that date the personnel strength of the DMR South Division was 638. There are 10 Juvenile Liaison Officers and 55 Community Gardaí attached to the DMR South Garda Division. The allocation of resources in An Garda Síochána, including the distribution of personnel, is a matter for the Commissioner and senior Garda Management and it is the responsibility of the Divisional Officer to allocate personnel within each Division. Garda management will continue to monitor the situation in the DMR South Division with a view to ensuring that an effective Garda service is maintained.
