Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 27 September 2023
112. Deputy Cian O'Callaghan asked the Minister for Justice if she will provide a list of the populations of each division in the Garda Dublin metropolitan region as of the 2022 census; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [41739/23]
View answerAs the Deputy will be aware, under the Garda Síochána Act 2005 (as amended), the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the administration and management of An Garda Síochána. As Minister, I have no role in such matters.
However, to be of assistance I sought the information requested by the Deputy from An Garda Síochána and have been advised that An Garda Síochána does not hold the information as requested.
As the Deputy will be aware, the Central Statistics Office (CSO), as the national statistical agency, is responsible for the compilation and publication of population statistics. As the Deputy may also be aware the Census of Population 2022 provides a breakdown of the population by Electoral Division, County and City.
