I propose to take Questions Nos. 106 and 107 together.

As the Deputy will appreciate, it is the Garda Commissioner who is responsible for the distribution of resources, including personnel, among the various Garda Divisions and I, as Minister, have no direct role in the matter. Garda management keeps this distribution of resources under continual review in the context of crime trends and policing priorities so as to ensure that the optimum use is made of these resources.

The Garda strength by Station for the Laois / Offaly Division and the Kildare Division, as provided by the Garda Commissioner from 2009 is available on my Department’s website through the following .

The Garda Reserve strength by Station for the Laois / Offaly Division and the Kildare Division, as on 30 September the latest date for which figures are currently available, as provided by the Garda Commissioner from 2009 is as set out in the following table.
