As the Deputy will appreciate, the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the distribution of resources, including personnel and vehicles, among the Garda Regions, Divisions and Districts. Garda management keep this distribution under continuing review in the context of crime trends and policing priorities so as to ensure that the best possible use is made of these resources.

I have been informed by the Garda Commissioner that the personnel strength of the Louth Garda Division broken down by station and rank on 31 December 2012 and 2013 and also on 31 July 2014, the latest date for which figures are readily available, was as set out in the following table.
