Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration

I propose to take Questions Nos. 904, 905 and 906 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 the distribution and stationing of Garda personnel throughout the State.

An Garda Síochána publishes information in relation to the allocation of Gardaí nationally. This includes a breakdown of Gardaí assigned to the Kilkenny/Waterford Division. 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 members assigned by Division. It should be noted that An Garda Síochána is not aligned operationally to county boundaries and, as a result, figures by county are not available.

Question No. 906 answered with Question No. 904.
