As the Deputy will be aware, under the Garda Síochána Act 2005 (as amended), the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the administration and management of An Garda Síochána, including for the recruitment, training and deployment of Garda members. As Minister, I have no role in such matters.
I am advised by the Garda authorities that, as of 31 January 2025, there are 20 Public Service Vehicle Inspectors nationwide. 18 Gardaí are included in this figure, with two Sergeants based in Galway and Mayo/Roscommon/Longford Divisions.
I am assured by the Garda Commissioner that personnel assigned throughout the country, together with overall policing arrangements and operational strategies, are continually monitored and reviewed. This ensures that optimum use is made of resources and the best possible policing service is provided to the public.
