Minister for Justice

As the Deputy will appreciate, in accordance with the Garda Síochána Act 2005 (as amended), the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the management and administration of An Garda Síochána. This includes responsibility for decisions in relation to the allocation and control of Garda personnel and resources. As Minister, I have no role in these matters.

I am advised by the Garda authorities that the following table sets out the number of Gardaí attached to the Garda Band at 28 June 2022.
