I am informed by the Garda Commissioner that the number of Gardaí who left the Force in 2008 was as set out in the following table.

There are six members of An Garda Síochána due to retire on compulsory age grounds in 2009. It is not possible to provide a detailed breakdown of how many other members may leave the force for different reasons. However the figures for previous years may be helpful to the Deputy and these are shown in the following table.
