Both I and the Government are committed to ensuring that An Garda Síochána has the resources it needs to fight crime and a strengthened, well-resourced Garda organisation is central to this policy.
The Garda Vote in Budget 2025 saw unprecedented funding of over €2.48 billion for this year, a 27% increase since 2020 which is supporting the continued recruitment of Garda members and staff.
In the interest of transparency, information in relation to the allocation of Gardaí, and civilian staff by Division is publicly available and can be found at the following link:
