I have requested the information from An Garda Síochána, and will respond to the Deputy when this is available.
The following deferred reply was received under Standing Order 51.
I refer to Parliamentary Question No. 153 of 12 October 2022 where you asked for: “the number of gardaí who have left An Garda Síochána since the beginning of 2022; the number of retirements and the number of resignations and the number of resignations per district; the net total Garda number per district as of 30 September 2022; and the total garda numbers per district in 2021. ”
As you will recall, I sought the information you requested from the Garda authorities, and undertook to contact you again once the information was to hand.
As you will be aware, under the Garda Síochána Act 2005 (as amended), the Garda Commissioner is responsible for all matters relating to recruitment and personnel within An Garda Síochána. As Minister I have no direct role and cannot comment on or intervene in such matters.
I am advised by the Garda authorities that the table in Appendix 1 details the number of resignations and retirements in An Garda Síochána, broken down by Division, for 2022. You may also be aware that my Department publishes a detailed breakdown of serving Garda members by Division, District and Station each month. This breakdown may be found on my Department’s website: www.gov.ie/en/publication/66833-garda-workforce/
I trust that this information is of assistance.
