The Deputy will appreciate that the provision and allocation of resources for An Garda Síochána is a matter for the Garda Commissioner and I, as Minister, have no direct role in the matter. 

I have, however, asked the Garda Commissioner for the specific information requested and when it is to hand I will inform the Deputy accordingly.
