132. To ask the Minister for Justice and Equality the number of search warrants issued to each Garda district drugs unit in the Dublin metropolitan region for the years 2010, 2011, 2012, and to date in 2013. [48624/13]

I am advised by the Garda authorities that the information requested by the Deputy cannot be extrapolated centrally from the Garda PULSE system and can only be sourced by undertaking a manual review of each case where a search was conducted.

I am further advised by the Garda authorities that such a review would require a disproportionate expenditure of Garda time and resources to identify the number of warrants issued specifically to drug related units which could not be justified in current circumstances where there are other significant demands on Garda resources.
