Written answers

Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration

I propose to take Questions Nos. 441, 442, 445 and 446 together.

An Garda Síochána publishes information in relation to the allocation of Gardaí nationally. This includes a breakdown of Gardaí assigned by Garda Stations from 2009 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 ‘Garda Members by Division District Station 2009 to the most recent date" to access a breakdown of Garda members 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.
