As the Deputy will be aware, under the Garda Síochána Act 2005 (as amended), the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the administration and management of An Garda Síochána, including for the recruitment, training and deployment of Garda members and Garda Staff. As Minister, I have no role in such matters.
I can inform the Deputy that there are 65 Garda members assigned to the Garda National Cyber Crime Bureau, as of the end of August 2023. The work of these Garda members is supported by 6 Garda Staff who are also assigned to the Bureau.
I have requested the number of Gardaí and full-time civilian staff based at each of the four GNCCB Satellite Hubs and I will contact the Deputy directly once this information is to hand.
