View answerAs the Deputy will be aware, in accordance with the Garda Síochána Act 2005 (as amended), the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the management and administration of An Garda Síochána, which includes decisions on the deployment of personnel among the various Garda Divisions. The Commissioner is also responsible for the recruitment and training of Garda members and staff under the Act and, as Minister, I have no direct role in these independent functions.
I am informed by the Garda authorities that the table below sets out the number of Gardaí assigned to the Garda National Immigration Bureau at 30 April 2020 and 31 March 2022, the latest date for which figures are available.
