The Deputy will be aware that the allocation of all Garda resources, including personnel, is a matter for the Garda Commissioner and one in which I have no function. However, I am advised that the situation in the area is monitored on an ongoing basis by local Garda Management in the context of crime trends, policing needs and other operational strategies to ensure optimum use is made of Garda resources and the best possible Garda service is provided to the public. The Garda Commissioner has informed me that as of the 31 October 2013 there are 112 Gardai assigned to Coolock Garda Station.
