I have been informed by the Garda Commissioner that the information requested in relation to the number of gardaí who have retired in each county for every year since 1992 is not readily available and can only be obtained by the disproportionate expenditure of Garda time and resources relative to the information sought. The total number of retirements from the Garda Síochána in each year from 1997 to 2006 is as follows: 1997, 284; 1998, 264; 1999, 260; 2000, 282; 2001, 238; 2002, 343; 2003, 339; 2004, 412; 2005, 383; and 2006, 304.
