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 been informed by the Garda Commissioner that the personnel strength of Dublin Metropolitan Region (D.M.R.) North, Raheny (J) and Coolock (R) Districts including Garda Reserves and civilians on 31 March 2015, the latest date for which figures are readily available, was as set out in a table.
There are no new attested Garda members assigned to the 'J' and 'R' Districts. However, five were posted to the Divisional Headquarters in Ballymun.
