I am informed by the Garda authorities that there are a total of 703 Garda Stations. Email facilities are available at 347 networked locations within An Garda Síochána and internal email facilities are provided to all ranks of An Garda Síochána via the PULSE environment. External email facilities are also provided to all Gardaí from Inspector rank upwards and are made available to members of other ranks based on operational needs.

I am also informed by the Garda authorities that, under a pilot scheme currently underway, members of the public can email all District and Divisional offices within the Dublin Metropolitan Region. When the pilot is complete, the roll out of this facility across the organisation will be planned.
