I have been informed by the Garda authorities which are responsible for the detailed allocation of resources, including personnel, that the total number of gardaí, of all ranks and inclusive of probationer gardaí on first allocation, who transferred into the Dublin metropolitan region between 1 May 2003 and 30 April 2004 was 489. The total number of gardaí of all ranks who transferred out of the Dublin metropolitan region between 1 May 2003 and 30 April 2004 was 126. I have been further informed that it is not Garda policy to refuse transfers out of the Dublin metropolitan region during the Irish Presidency of the European Union.
