I can advise the Deputy that the table attached to this answer lays out the number of Garda members by Division for each year since 2018, and each month of 2022, up to 31 December, the latest date for which figures are available.
I can also inform the Deputy that detailed statistics on Garda workforce numbers are published on my Department's website. These statistics include breakdowns of Garda members by Division, District and Station, as well as overall Garda strength.
