I propose to take Questions Nos. 198 and 199 together.
I am informed by the Garda authorities that the personnel strength of each of the Garda Districts in the Mayo Garda Division, as of 31 August 2010, 31 December 2009 and 31 December 2008, was as set out in the following table.
District | 2010 | 2009 | 2008 |
Ballina | 58 | 56 | 64 |
Belmullet | 26 | 28 | 29 |
Castlebar | 86 | 85 | 90 |
Claremorris | 53 | 38 | 44 |
Swinford | 60 | 61 | 60 |
Westport | 39 | 41 | 42 |
Total | 322 | 309 | 329 |
The Deputy will be aware that during 2009, Garda Divisional boundaries were realigned with local authority boundaries and as such Easkey and Enniscrone Garda Stations have moved to Sligo/Leitrim Garda Division. I am further informed by the Garda authorities that there are currently no civilian vacancies in the Mayo Garda Division.
