Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 3 March 2026
656. Deputy Alan Kelly asked the Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration further to Parliamentary Question No. 832 of 4 February 2026 if the necessary information has been provided to him from Garda Authorities to answer this question. [16494/26]
View answerI refer to Parliamentary Question No. 832 of 4 February 2026 where you sought:
“To ask the Minister for Justice; Home Affairs and Migration the number of Gardaí trained and currently deployed in specialist units for cyber crime, serious and organised crime and immigration for the Louth-Cavan and Monaghan Division.”
I understand from An Garda Síochána that the following number of Gardaí are assigned to the Crime Functional area in Louth-Cavan-Monaghan Division.
• 4 Detective Inspectors
• 26 Sergeants/Detective Sergeants
• 128 Gardaí/Detective Gardaí
Gardaí attached to the crime functional area are allocated to Crime Detective Units, Drugs Units, Digital Intelligence Unit, Fraud Units, Divisional Protective Service Units, Serious and Organised Crime Units, Crime Prevention and Immigration Units.
I understand there is no specific cybercrime unit in the Louth-Cavan-Monaghan Division.
The Deputy may be interested to note that the Immigration Unit, included in the numbers above is made up of 1 Sergeant and 10 Gardaí in the Division.
