I have been informed by the Garda Commissioner that the personnel strength of the Criminal Assets Bureau (CAB), Garda National Immigration Bureau (GNIB) and the National Bureau of Criminal Investigation (NBCI) broken down by rank, on the latest date for which figures are readily available, was as set out in the table.

Responsibility for the allocation of resources, including personnel, within the Force rests with the Garda Commissioner, in consultation with his senior management team. Resource levels are constantly monitored, in conjunction with crime trends and other demands made on An Garda Síochána. The situation is kept under continuing review to ensure optimum use is made of these resources and the best possible Garda service is provided to the public.
