Written answers

Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration

I propose to take Questions Nos. 443, 457 and 458 together.

In the interest of transparency, information in relation to the allocation of Garda personnel is published by An Garda Síochána and is publicly available at the following link:

www.garda.ie/en/about-us/our-departments/human-resources-and-people-development/garda-hr-directorate/garda-strength-breakdown-2025/

The Deputy should select the month "August 2025" (the latest date for when figures are available) and access the file titled “Allocation of Probationer Gardaí by Division and Station 2015 to 31 August 2025” for a breakdown of total Probationer Gardaí numbers by Garda station going back to 2015.

For figures on Community Gardaí the Deputy should access the file titled “Community Garda by Division 2008 to 31 August 2025” for a breakdown of total Gardaí numbers going back to 2008.

For figures on Garda Staff, the Deputy should access the file titled “Garda Staff by Division and Station 31 August 2025” for a breakdown of total Gardaí numbers going back to 2010.

The Garda Commissioner is responsible for the management and administration of An Garda Síochána under Section 33 of the Policing, Security and Community Safety Act 2024, which includes the distribution and stationing of Garda personnel throughout the state. The Commissioner is independent in his functions under the Act and, as Minister, I have no role in these independent functions.

Question No. 444 answered with Question No. 425.
