I am informed by the Garda Commissioner that the number of his Members who have applied for early retirement in the year since April 2008 and the numbers being processed are as set out in the following table.

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.
