Garda transfers to Wicklow and Meath
Farrelly urged transfers from areas with surplus gardaí to places such as Wicklow and Meath. Collins said deployment was for the Garda Commissioner and invited Deputies to send relevant information to the Commissioner.
Would the Minister not consider, when he discusses the matter with the Garda Síochána, to have gardaí transferred from areas where there are too many to areas where the gardaí are required? County Wicklow is one case and County Meath is another but we can go along the line where this is the case.
Comment on this
It is a matter for the Garda Commissioner to decide where the manpower should be deployed. If any Deputy has information that the Commissioner might usefully consider with regard to the fact that there might be too many gardaí in any one place, they perhaps might pass the information to the Garda Commissioner.
