545. Deputy Pauline Tully asked the Minister for Justice the number of gardaí, by rank, attached to each divisional protection services unit as of 13 May 2022. [26170/22]
View answerAs the Deputy will be aware, Divisional Protective Services Units (DPSUs) support the delivery of a consistent and professional approach to the investigation of sexual and domestic crime.
As the Deputy will also be aware, the Garda Commissioner is responsible under the Garda Síochána Act 2005 (as amended) for the deployment of An Garda Síochána throughout the State as well as for the management and administration of Garda business, including the training and assignment of Garda members and staff. As Minister, I play no direct role in these independent functions.
The table below, which I have been provided with by the Garda authorities, shows the number of Garda members attached to Divisional Protective Services Units as of 13 May, 2022.
