Amharc ar fhreagraAn Garda Síochána publish figures in relation to the allocation of probationer Gardaí by Division and training station on their website, including the Clare/Tipperary Garda Division. 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/garda-strength-breakdown-2025.html
The Deputy should select December 2025 for the most up to date data available, and then select the file titled ‘Allocation of Probationer Gardai by Division and Station 2015 to December 2025’.
I have also been informed by the Garda authorities that two probationer Gardaí were allocated to stations in the Clare/Tipperary Division after the most recent attestation 6 February 2026. One was assigned to Clonmel station and one to Ennis Station.
The Garda Commissioner is responsible under section 33 of the Policing, Security and Community Safety Act 2024 for all operational policing matters, including the distribution and deployment of probationer Gardaí to Garda stations across the State.
