The Deputy will be aware that the Garda Commissioner is responsible, under the law, for the management and administration of An Garda Síochána, including personnel matters and deployment of resources.  As Minister, I have no role in decisions on such matters.  I am assured, however, that Garda management keeps the distribution of resources under continual review in the context of crime trends and policing priorities, to ensure their optimum use. 

The tables below, as provided to me by the Garda authorities, sets out the number of Gardaí and Garda staff assigned to the National Economic Crime Bureau at 28 February 2021, the latest date for which figures are available.
