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 and is independent in his functions under Section 34 of the Act. As Minister, I have no role in the deployment of Garda resources or operational policing matters.
In the interest of transparency, An Garda Síochána publishes detailed breakdowns on the allocation of Gardaí including the allocation of Probationer Gardaí by Division and Station. This information is updated on a monthly basis 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/
To be of assistance, I have provided the below table which includes all probationer allocations to date for 2025 to the DMR West Division by Station.
