I am informed by the Garda authorities that the personnel strength of each Garda Division referred to by the Deputy, as at 31 August 2010 and 31 August 2011 was as set out in the following table:
Division | 31 August 2010 | 31 August 2011 |
Louth | 316 | 310 |
Donegal | 473 | 457 |
Cavan/Monaghan | 406 | 374 |
TOTAL | 1,195 | 1,141 |
The Deputy will appreciate that, as with any large organisation, the numbers in any Division will fluctuate from time to time due to, for example, transfers, retirements, resignations etc.
