asked the Minister for Justice if he will provide additional gardaí for Terenure Garda station in view of the recent spate of crime in the area.

(Limerick East): The detailed deployment of Garda manpower is a matter for the Garda authorities who have informed me that two additional members have been assigned to Terenure station in recent weeks. These assignments brought the net increase in Garda strength at the centre to 15 since 1 January 1983 and the question of further increasing Garda strength there will be kept under review.
