As the Deputy will be aware, under the Garda Síochána Act 2005 (as amended), the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the distribution of Garda resources between the various Garda Divisions. As Minister I have no role in this matter. I can assure the Deputy however that the Government is committed to ensuring An Garda Síochána has the resources it needs.

The tables below, furnished to me by the Garda authorities, set out the information requested by the Deputy as of 20 September 2022, the latest date for which it is available:
