Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 17 June 2014
563. Deputy Niall Collins asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the overall number of members of An Garda Síochána in the State; the number of gardaí broken down in tabular form per district; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [25590/14]
View answerAs the Deputy will appreciate, the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the distribution of personnel among the Garda Regions, Divisions and Districts. Garda management keep this distribution under continuing review in the context of crime trends and policing priorities so as to ensure that the best possible use is made of these resources.
I have been informed by the Garda Commissioner that the personnel strength of An Garda Síochána on 30 April 2014, the latest date for which figures are readily available, was 12,992. There are also 1,192 Garda Reserves and over 2,000 Civilians. The strength of An Garda Síochána broken down by District on the same date, was as set out in the following table:
