The Garda Commissioner is responsible for the distribution of personnel, including civilians, among the Garda Regions, Divisions, and Districts. Garda management keep this distribution under continuing review taking into account crime trends and policing priorities so as to ensure that the best possible use is made of Garda resources.

The five Garda Stations referred to by the Deputy are covered by three different Garda Divisions, all within the Dublin Metropolitan Region (DMR). I am informed by the Garda Commissioner that the level of civilian staffing for each of these five Garda Stations is listed in the table below. The duties of the civilian staff include the provision of a range of support services in the administrative and finance areas. It is not possible at this time to identify the working patterns of these civilian staff and I will write directly to the Deputy when I have received this information from the Garda Commissioner.
