As the Deputy will appreciate, the Garda Commissioner is the accounting officer for an Garda Síochána with responsibility for the allocation of Garda resources and I, as Minister, have no direct role in these matters.

I have requested the Garda authorities to provide information referred to by the Deputy and will revert to him when it is to hand.
