While the word "retirement", in the Garda context, is usually taken to mean going out on pension, I assume the question is intended to include also all other departures from the force such as resignations before a right to a pension has accrued, deaths and dismissals. On that basis the figures asked for are as follows:
1972: |
125 |
1973: |
125 |
1974: |
148 |
1975: |
105 |
1976: |
140 (Estimated) |
