The Probation Service, which is an executive agency of the Department of Justice, plays an important role in the criminal justice system in diverting people, in particular young people, away from criminal behaviour, supervising community sanctions imposed in lieu of a custodial sentence by the courts, as well as supervising people post release. The work they do contributes significantly to reducing reoffending and thus to keeping communities safer.
I can advise the Deputy that the number of full-time probation officers, by grade, based in each Probation Office in Dublin in 2023 and to date in 2024, is as set out in the table below.
