I have been informed by the Garda authorities, who are responsible for the detailed allocation of Garda personnel, that the total number of Garda personnel — all ranks — who were absent on long-term sick leave suffering from stress during 2003 and 2004 was as follows:

Year
2003 19
2004 30

Of those, the number confirmed as suffering from work-related stress was as follows:

2003 5
2004 4

The number of Garda personnel who reported ill and unfit for duty on a short-term basis due to stress is not available.
