As the Deputy will be aware, under the Garda Síochána Act 2005 (as amended), the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the administration and management of An Garda Síochána, including decisions on the deployment of personnel among the various divisions. As Minister, I have no direct role in these matters.
However, to be of assistance I sought the information requested by the Deputy from An Garda Síochána and have been advised that the number of attested Gardaí who are working in office-based roles within the Clare-Tipperary Garda Division is 38.
I can also advise the Deputy that since 2015 the number of Garda staff for Clare/Tipperary has almost doubled from 63 to 123. Garda Staff perform a number of vital roles that are essential to a modern police service and increase the availability of Gardaí to concentrate on frontline policing duties.
