I have been informed by the Garda Commissioner that the total number of Garda Stations in the country at the end of 2011 was 703. I have been further informed by the Garda Commissioner that there are currently 421 networked Garda locations in the country. While not every Garda station is a networked location, every District and Divisional Headquarters is, therefore providing access to that network for every member of An Garda Síochána. All Garda stations which are not directly linked to the Garda network have secure voice communications to their local networked station which meets the current operational requirements.
