I propose to take Questions Nos. 437 to 439, inclusive, 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, Garda Staff and Probationer Gardaí by Station and Division. This includes a breakdown for the Mayo/Roscommon/Longford Division.
This information 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 Staff by Division to the most recent date" for a breakdown of Garda Staff by Division and Station going back to 2010.
To find the information in relation to the allocation of Probationer Gardaí by Division and Station, the Deputy should access the file titled “Allocation of Probationer Gardaí by Division and Station 2015 to the most recent date” for a breakdown of total Probationer Garda numbers by Garda station going back to 2015.
To find information in relation to the allocation of Gardaí by Division and Station, the Deputy should access the file titled “Garda members by Division, District, Station 2009 to the most recent date” for a breakdown of total number of Gardaí by Garda station going back to 2009.
An Garda Síochána also publish data on the overtime payments made to members of An Garda Síochána. This data can be found at the following link: www.garda.ie/en/information-centre/freedom-of-information/publication-scheme/budgets-and-spending/overtime-reports.
The Deputy should note that An Garda Síochána is structured on a divisional level and not on the basis of county boundaries. As such information on overtime spending is broken down on a divisional basis. In addition it should be noted that an Garda Síochána do not police on a station basis, but rather on a divisional basis, and see stations as locations within communities for people to attend, and for resources to be accommodated. Policing for an area will be delivered using all resources in a Community Engagement Area and supported by divisional resources and units.
