I have been informed by the Garda Commissioner that the personnel strength by Division for 31/12/05 to 31/12/07 was as set out in the table:

The Deputy will appreciate that, as with any large organisation, on any given day, personnel strengths of individual divisions, districts and stations may fluctuate due, for example, to promotions, retirements and transfers. With regard to the Specialist Units, I have requested this information from the Garda Commissioner and I will write to the Deputy directly when this information is to hand.
