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 in the period from 2010 to 14 December 2015, the latest date for which figures are readily available, the total number of Gardaí who have departed from the An Garda Síochána in the Garda districts of Ardee, Drogheda and Dundalk, owing to voluntary retirement, compulsory retirement, cost neutral early retirement, medical discharge, resignation, dismissal or death is as set out in the following table.
