Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 22 January 2025
937. Deputy Darren O'Rourke asked the Minister for Justice the number of Gardaí, by rank, attached to each of the four satellite garda national cyber- crime bureau hubs as of 6 December 2024, in tabular form. [46409/24]
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, including the allocation of Garda members and Garda Staff. As Minister, I have no role in such matters.
I sought the information requested by the Deputy from An Garda Síochána and as there is less than 10 members allocated across the four Garda National Cyber Crime Bureau Satellite Hubs, I am informed by the Garda authorities that data is not released by An Garda Síochána for counts less than 10, for data protection and security reasons.
To be of assistance to the Deputy I sought the total number of Garda members allocated across the four GNCCB Satellite Hubs (located in Cork, Mullingar, Galway and Wexford) at the end of 2024 and can confirm there is a total of 29.
