I propose to take Questions Nos. 565 to 569, inclusive, together.

The Deputy will be aware that the Commissioner is responsible for the detailed allocation of resources, including personnel, throughout the organisation and I have no direct function in the matter. This allocation of resources is constantly monitored in the context of demographics, crime trends, policing needs and other operational strategies in place on a District, Divisional and Regional level to ensure optimum use is made of Garda resources and the best possible Garda service is provided to the public.

I have been informed by the Commissioner that the strengths of each Garda District in the Roscommon/Longford Garda Division for the years requested by the Deputy are as shown on the following table.
