View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 433, 434, 435, 436 and 438 together.
The allocation of newly attested Gardaí is an operational matter to be determined by the Commissioner. Newly attested Gardaí are allocated to specially designated training stations which have the required training and development structures and resources in place, including trained Garda tutors and access to a permanently appointed supervisory Sergeant who is thoroughly familiar with their responsibilities under the training programme.
It must also be noted that the allocation of newly attested Gardaí allows for currently serving Gardaí to move on transfer to other Divisions across the country and into specialist units.
In the interest of transparency, An Garda Síochána publishes information in relation to the allocation of Garda members nationally, including a breakdown of Garda divisions and stations nationwide. This can be found 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 most recently available date and then select the file titled ‘Allocation of Probationer Garda by Division and Station 2015 to the most recent date".
