At 17th November 2008, there were 36 attested Reserve Gardaí attached to the following stations in Cork City and County:
| Number | |
| Anglesea Street | 11 |
| Bandon | 1 |
| Clonakilty | 1 |
| Fermoy | 2 |
| Gurranbraher | 6 |
| Macroom | 1 |
| Mayfield | 3 |
| Midleton | 4 |
| Togher | 4 |
| Watercourse Road | 3 |
| Total | 36 |
There are currently 7 Garda Reserve trainees in Cork City and County and it is anticipated that they will be allocated to stations in Cork following completion of their training in 2009.
The recruitment of members to the Garda Reserve is ongoing with regular intakes into the Garda College. I welcome the prospect of further assignments of Garda Reserve members to Cork as additional members from Cork become available.
