Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 23 July 2019
763. Deputy Lisa Chambers asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the number of Garda retirements from each Garda station in County Mayo in each of the years from 2014 to 2018 and to date in 2019; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [32585/19]
View answer766. Deputy Lisa Chambers asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the number of serving gardaí, by rank, on career breaks, unpaid leave or special leave in each Garda station in County Mayo; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [32589/19]
View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 763 and 766 together.
As the Deputy will appreciate, it is the Garda Commissioner who is responsible for managing An Garda Síochána including personnel, and I, as Minister, have no role in the matter.
Garda management keeps this distribution of resources under continual review in the context of crime trends and policing priorities so as to ensure that the optimum use is made of these resources.
The following table shows the number of Gardaí on unpaid leave as at 18/07/2019:
