232. To ask the Minister for Justice and Equality the number of members of the Garda Reserve currently attached to each of the Garda stations engaged in policing within the Dublin South constituency area, compared to the numbers so attached to those stations in 2010. [19290/15]

As the Deputy will appreciate, the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the distribution of personnel, including the Garda Reserve, 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 Garda Reserve strength for the Dublin Metropolitan Regional (DMR) South Central and DMR South and DMR East Divisions for the year ending 31 December 2010, and on 31 March 2015, the latest date for which figures are readily available, was as set out in the table.
