As the Deputy will be aware, under the Garda Síochána Act 2005 (as amended), the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the management and administration of An Garda Síochána, including personnel matters. As Minister, I have no direct role in these matters.

I am informed by the Garda authorities that the total number of Gardaí as of 31 August 2022 was 14,283.

The table below, provided to me by the Garda authorities, outlines the number of Garda members unavailable for duty due to sick leave as of August 2022.
