I propose to take Questions Nos. 1119 and 1120 together.

I have requested the information sought by the Deputy from the Garda authorities. I will contact the Deputy directly once this information is to hand.

The Government is committed to ensuring that An Garda Síochána has the resources it needs, which is reflected in an allocation of over €2 billion in Budget 2023.

This level of funding will provide a steady pipeline of new Gardaí in the coming years, supporting the recruitment of up to 1,000 Garda members and 400 new Garda staff.

The attached document outlines the current pay scales for rank and file members of An Garda Síochána as of 1 March 2023.

As the Deputy will appreciate, Garda staff are civil servants and therefore civil service salary scales apply. Salary scales are set out in the Department of Public Expenditure, NDP Delivery and Reform's most recent pay circular published on www.gov.ie. The circular sets out all the pay scales for Civil Service staff, ranging from cleaner to Secretary General level.

I can however assure the Deputy that the Government is committed to ensuring that An Garda Síochána has the resources it needs, which is reflected in an allocation of over €2 billion in Budget 2023.

This level of funding will provide a steady pipeline of new Gardaí in the coming years, supporting the recruitment of up to 1,000 Garda members and 400 new Garda staff.
