Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 19 July 2012
630 Deputy Dara Calleary asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the number of gardaí who retired in 2009, 2010, 2011 and to date in 2012; the number who have signalled their intention to retire later this year; and the current strength of the Garda, the Garda Reserve and its estimated strength at the end of 2012. [36855/12]
View answerI am informed by the Garda authorities that the personnel strength of An Garda Síochána on 30 June 2012 was 13,567 full-time members with a further 1,012 Garda Reserve members and 166 in training.
I am further informed that the number of full time members who retired between 2009 and to-date in 2012 and those who have declared their intention to retire in the remainder of the year is as set out in the following table:
|
2009 |
2010 |
2011 |
2012 up to 30/06/12 |
201201/07-31/12 |
|
722 |
362 |
436 |
296 |
52 |
It is not possible at this stage to estimate the strength for the end of 2012, as the full retirement figures for the year as a whole are not yet known.
