As the Deputy will be aware, the provision and allocation of Garda resources is a matter for the Garda Commissioner in the context of her identified operational requirements.

In that context I am informed by the Garda authorities that, for operational reasons, it is not appropriate to publish the number of Gardaí assigned to such duties as mentioned by the Deputy.

Furthermore, as Minister for Justice and Equality I have no responsibility for the Defence Forces.
