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 for each county by Station, District and Division for the years ending 30 April 2009 to 2014 and February 2015 for which date figures are readily available. I have arranged that this information which is set out in spreadsheets be sent to the Deputy directly.
