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.
In the interest of transparency, An Garda Síochána publishes information in relation to the allocation of Gardaí nationally. This includes a breakdown of Gardaí and Garda Staff by Division and Station in Meath and Gardaí assigned to the roads policing unit 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 ‘Garda Members by Division District Station to the most recent date" to access a breakdown of Garda numbers in all Divisions and Stations. To access a data on the number of Gardaí assigned to Roads Policing the Deputy should use the same link, select the most recently available date and then select the file titled ‘Roads policing by division to the most recent date".
