Written answers

Minister for Justice

I have sought the information requested by the Deputy from An Garda Síochána, and will contact him again when this is to hand.

The following deferred reply was received under Standing Order 51:

As you are aware, under the Garda Síochána Act 2005 (as amended), the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the administration and management of An Garda Síochána, including responsibility for the recruitment, training and distribution of Garda members. As Minister, I have no role in these matters. I am informed by the Garda authorities that the following table outlines the number of Gardaí that have retired before full service was completed, by rank and year, in 2020, 2021 and 2022 and as of 23 March 2023. These figures include Medical Discharges.

Please note that this information is based upon operational data which has been provided by An Garda Síochána and may be liable to change.

2021	0	0	0	0	0	8	8

I trust this information is of assistance.
