The Deputy will appreciate that the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the administration and management of An Garda Síochána, including responsibility for the recruitment, training and deployment of Garda members. I am assured that the Commissioner keeps the allocation of these resources under continued review, in line with crime and population trends, to ensure their optimum use.
I am informed by the Garda authorities that, as of the end of December 2022, the latest date for which data is available, there were a total of 721 Garda members assigned to the DMR West Division and 767 Garda members assigned to the DMR North Division.
The attached table provides a breakdown of Gardaí by rank in each Garda station of the respective Divisions.
