Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 15 July 2021
306. Deputy Paul Kehoe asked the Minister for Justice the number of gardaí stationed in each Garda station in County Wexford by station in each of the years 2011 to date in tabular form; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [38917/21]
View answerAs the Deputy will appreciate, under the Garda Síochána Act 2005, the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the general management and administration of Garda business, which includes the deployment of members of An Garda Síochána throughout the State. As Minister, I have no role in this independent function.
As of 31 May 2021 there were 328 Gardaí assigned to the Wexford Division, which represents an increase of 20% since 2011 when there were 273 Garda members assigned to the Division. These Garda members are supported by 44 Garda staff.
Extensive information is available on my Department’s website in relation to the numbers of Garda members and their assignment by station nationwide, and may be found at the following link: www.justice.ie/en/JELR/Pages/Garda_Workforce.
This information is updated every month with the latest data provided by An Garda Síochána.
Details in relation to the number of Garda civilian staff nationwide are also available on my Department's website at the following link: justice.ie/en/JELR/Pages/Garda_Staff.
