719. Deputy Emer Currie asked the Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration the number of Gardaí assigned to roads policing units in December 2025, by Garda division; and the total number of Gardai currently working in roads policing units, by division. [5588/26]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am committed to ensuring that An Garda Síochána has the resources it needs to fight crime and a strengthened, well-resourced Garda organisation is central to this policy. The Garda Vote in Budget 2026 saw unprecedented funding of over €2.74 billion for this year which is supporting the continued recruitment of Garda members and staff.
In the interest of transparency, An Garda Síochána publish information in relation to the allocation of Roads Policing by Division which 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/garda-strength-breakdown-2025.html).
The Deputy should select the latest date and then select the file titled ‘Roads Policing by Division 2009 to the latest date’.
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 Garda personnel throughout the State.
