REPLY
I have been informed by the Garda Commissioner that Clontarf Garda Station covers the Marino and Fairview area referred to by the Deputy.
The personnel strength of Clontarf Garda Station on 30 November 2008, the latest date for which figures are readily available, was 81, of which 6 are Community Gardaí. One member of the Community Policing Unit is specifically allocated to the Marino and Fairview areas and regularly attends meetings with various residents and local business groups.
I have been further informed by the Garda Commissioner that the areas referred to are subject to regular patrols by uniform and plain-clothes units. Patrols are supplemented by the District Garda Mountain Bike Unit, Detective and Drugs Units, Divisional Crime Task Force and Traffic Corps personnel.
Clontarf Garda Station forms part of the DMR Northern Division. The personnel strength of the JLO's, Traffic Corps and Drugs Unit attached to the DMR Northern Division on 30 November 2008 was as set out in the table hereunder :
Station - 30 November 2008
It is the responsibility of the Garda Commissioner to allocate personnel throughout the Force taking everything into account. The situation will be kept under review and when additional personnel next become available the allocation of Gardaí will be fully considered by the Commissioner within the overall context of policing requirements throughout the country.
