The Border Management Unit (BMU) of my Department has responsibility for front-line immigration duties at Dublin Airport only. Other airports and other ports of entry, are the responsibility of the Garda National Immigration Bureau (GNIB).
As of 3 July 2024, there are 176 front line staff working in the BMU at Dublin Airport, excluding staff on unpaid leave, such as career breaks.
The information requested by the Deputy in respect of the BMU staff working at Dublin Airport is detailed in the table below.

|---|---|---|---|
| Immigration Control Officer | 55 | 103 | 158 |
| Immigration Control Supervisor | 4 | 10 | 14 |
| Immigration Control Manager | 2 | 2 | 4 |
| Total | 61 | 115 | 176 |
The staffing levels in the BMU are kept under constant review and additional staff have been assigned to the team, as required.
