Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 14 October 2025
702. Deputy Matt Carthy asked the Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration the WTE civilian allocation to An Garda Síochána in the years 2020 to date; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [54943/25]
View answerI am committed to ensuring that An Garda Síochána has the resources it needs to fight crime and a strengthened, well-resourced Garda organisation is central to this policy.
The Garda Vote in Budget 2026 includes unprecedented funding of €2.59 billion which will support the continued recruitment of Garda members and staff.
In the interest of transparency, An Garda Síochána publish information in relation to the number of Garda Staff by Division and Station which is publicly available and can be found at the following link: www.garda.ie/garda/en/about-us/our-departments/human-resources-and-people-development/garda-hr-directorate/garda-strength-breakdown-2025/garda-strength-breakdown-2025.html
The Deputy should select August 2025 and, for the overall WTE Garda Staff figure, select the file titled " Garda Workforce Strength 2006 to August 31st 2025". This report includes details of the overall Garda workforce allocation by year, including the allocation of WTE Garda Staff.
For a breakdown of Garda Staff allocations by Division and station, the Deputy should select the file titled “Garda Staff by Division and Station 31 August 2025” for a breakdown of Garda Staff allocated to each Division and Station."
