As the Deputy will appreciate, decisions in relation to the allocation and management of Garda equipment and resources, including ICT, are a matter for the Garda Commissioner. As Minister, I have no direct role in the matter.

However, I am informed by the Garda authorities that the number of staff working on the Garda Service Desk in 2016 was 17, comprising 4 in-house Garda staff and 13 staff provided by the company referred to (9 analysts, 3 supervisors and 1 team lead).
