The Deputy should select the most recently available date and then select the file titled ‘Roads policing by division to the most recent date" to access a breakdown of Garda members assigned to roads policing.

It should be noted that road traffic laws are enforced by Gardaí assigned to Roads Policing and as part of the day-to-day duties of uniformed Gardaí nationwide. This includes a programme of high-visibility road safety and enforcement operations carried out in partnership with other state agencies.
