I have been informed by the Garda Commissioner that the personnel strength of Coolock, Raheny and Howth Garda Stations on 31 December 2008, 2009 and on the latest date for which figures are readily available in 2010 was as set out in the table hereunder:

Responsibility for the allocation of resources, including personnel, within the Force rests with the Garda Commissioner, in consultation with his senior management team. Resource levels are constantly monitored, in conjunction with crime trends and other demands made on An Garda Síochána, and the situation is kept under continuing review to ensure optimum use is made of these resources and the best possible Garda service is provided to the public.
