View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 434, 435, 443 and 444 together.
An Garda Síochána publishes information in relation to the allocation of Gardaí nationally. This includes a breakdown of Probationer Gardaí assigned by Garda Stations from 2015 to the end of December 2025, the latest date for which figures are available. 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 Gardaí by Division and Station 2015 to the most recent date" to access a breakdown of Gardaí assigned by station.
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 Gardaí throughout the State. It should be noted that An Garda Síochána is not structured according to county boundaries.
