Amharc ar fhreagraIn the interest of transparency, information in relation to the allocation of Probationer Gardaí by Division and Station, including for the DMR North Division, is publicly available and 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 current month and access the file titled “Allocation of Probationer Gardaí by Division and Station 2015 to the most recent date” for a breakdown of total Probationer Gardaí numbers by Garda station going back to 2015.
The Deputy may also wish to note that I understand that a further 11 probationer Gardaí have been assigned to the DMR North Division arising from the most recent attestation from the Garda college on the 14 November.
The Garda Commissioner is responsible for the distribution and stationing of Garda personnel throughout the State under Section 33 of the Policing, Security and Community Safety Act 2024.
