I have been advised by the Probation Service that there are currently 80 Probation Officers working in the Dublin region who are engaged in a range of duties including the preparation of assessments for court, the supervision of court orders, and the delivery of focused offender intervention programmes. The typical caseload of a Probation Officer ranges from 20 to 50 cases at any given time depending on the duties to which they are assigned.
