As the Deputy is already aware, the Garda 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 however been informed by the Garda Commissioner that the Districts without Superintendents on the 31 December 2013 and on the 31 March 2014, the latest date for which figures are readily available are as set out below:
31 December 2013
Division DistrictDonegal Milford Galway Clifden Limerick Roxboro Rd. Roscommon/Longford Longford
31 March 2014
Division DistrictDonegal Milford Galway Clifden Limerick Roxboro Rd. Roscommon/Longford Longford
