I propose to take Questions Nos. 748 and 750 together.
The Garda Commissioner is responsible for the distribution and stationing of Garda personnel throughout the State under section 33 of the Policing, Security and Community Safety Act 2024. As Minister I have no role in these independent functions.
In the interest of transparency, An Garda Síochána publishes detailed breakdowns on the allocation of Gardaí including the allocation of Community Gardaí by Division. This information is updated on a monthly basis and can be found at the following link:

I am advised by the Garda authorities that as of 31 October
2025, the latest date for when figures are available, there were nine Community Gardaí allocated to Coolock Station, including one Sergeant, and 12 Community Gardaí allocated to Clontarf Station, which includes two Sergeants.
