As the Deputy is aware, the manner in which the resources of the Garda Síochána are deployed is solely a matter for the Garda Commissioner and his management team and I, as Minister, have no direct role in this regard.

I have requested the information sought by the Deputy from the Garda Commissioner and I will write to the Deputy on receipt of same.
