As the Deputy will appreciate, the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the distribution of personnel, including assigning members to Drugs Units, among the Garda Regions, Divisions, and Districts. Garda management keep this distribution under continuing review in the context of crime trends and policing priorities so as to ensure that the best possible use is made of these resources.
I have been informed by the Garda Commissioner that the personnel strength of An Garda Síochána and the number of members who retired in the Tipperary Division on 31 December 2011, 2012, 2013 and on the latest date for which figures are readily available in 2014, was as set out in the table below.
Year | Strength | Retired |
---|---|---|
2011 | 376 | 4 |
2012 | 371 | 12 |
2013 | 371 | 10 |
2014 | 368 (31/07/14) | 10 (26/09/14) |
