As the Deputy will be aware, in accordance with the Garda Síochána Act 2005 (as amended), the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the management and administration of An Garda Síochána, which includes decisions on the deployment of personnel among the various Garda Divisions. As Minister, I have no role in these matters.

I understand that it is a matter for the Divisional Chief Superintendent to determine the optimum distribution of duties among the personnel available to them, having regard to the profile of each area within the Division and its specific needs. 

I am informed by the Garda authorities that the table below sets out the Garda members assigned to the Tipperary Divisional Scenes of Crime Unit as of 1 January 2021 and 13 September 2022.

1 January 2021 - 5 Garda

13 September 2022 - 5 Garda
