I propose to take Questions Nos. 371 and 374 together.

As the Deputy will appreciate, the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the distribution of personnel 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 received the information from the Garda Commissioner on the personnel strength of Malahide Garda Station from 31 December 2010 to 31 December 2014 and on 28 February 2015, the latest date for which figures are readily available, which are set out in the table overleaf. I have also been informed that there is one Garda member on ordinary Career Break which commenced in March 2015, one Garda member on Incentivised Career Break which commenced in June 2014. There were four Garda members who availed of paid maternity leave of which one of those members availed of three periods of paid and unpaid maternity leave. There were no Garda members who availed of Carer's leave or Term Time / Shorter Working Year.
