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. 656 of 18 October 2022 where you sought: “To ask the Minister for Justice the number of members of An Garda Síochána who are at present unavailable for work due to sick leave, suspension and secondment.”
As you will recall, Minister McEntee sought the information you requested and undertook to contact you again once the information was to hand. As I have since taken office I am responding to your question.
Detailed information in relation to the Garda workforce, including concerning sick leave, suspension and secondment absences, is contained in the Garda Commissioner’s monthly reports to the Policing Authority. This information is updated every month with the latest data provided by An Garda Síochána, and is published on the Policing Authority’s website. I can confirm that the January 2023 report is now published. You can access these monthly statistical reports via the following link:

I hope that this information is of assistance.
