I have been informed by the Garda Commissioner that the personnel strength of each Garda Division including Reserves, as at the latest date for which figures are readily available, is as set out in the table hereunder:

Figures are not currently available which would enable me to reply to the specific query from the Deputy on long term leave. However, I will arrange to have a report sought from the Garda Commissioner on the matter and will communicate directly with the Deputy in due course.
