I have been informed by the Garda Commissioner that the number of Gardaí who have departed from the force owing to voluntary retirement, compulsory retirement, cost neutral early retirement, medical discharge, resignation, or dismissal for each of the years 2011 to 2014, is as set out in the table overleaf.
I would like to correct the official record. In my reply to Parliamentary Question No. 192 of 22 October 2015, I stated that there were 335 departures in 2013. I have, however, subsequently been informed by the Garda authorities that one member who was dismissed in 2013 was reinstated.
