View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 614 and 615 together.
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 all operational policing matters, which includes the allocation and deployment of Garda resources throughout the state. Under Section 34(1) of the Policing Security and Community Safety Act 2024, the Garda Commissioner is independent in the performance of his functions. As Minister, I have no role in these independent functions.
In the interest of transparency, information in relation to the allocation of Gardaí by Division, Station and rank, including for Anglesea Street, Ballincollig, Abbeyfeale and Adare Garda Stations, is publicly available and can be found at the link below.
