The provision and allocation of Garda resources, including transport, is a matter for the Garda Commissioner in the context of his identified policing priorities and available finance. I am advised by the Garda authorities that the policing requirements of the Monaghan Garda District, which includes the station referred to by the Deputy, are continually monitored and reviewed to ensure that Garda resources are deployed in the most appropriate manner. I am further informed that the current arrangements in place for the station in question are providing an effective policing service for the area.
