As the Deputy will appreciate, the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the distribution of resources 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 however been informed by the Garda Commissioner that the personnel strength of the Garda Traffic Corps on 31 December 2011 to 2014, the latest date for which figures are readily available, was as set out in the table.
