I am 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, An Garda Síochána publish information in relation to the number of active members by Division and Station which is publicly available and can be found at the following link:

The Deputy should select the file titled “Garda Members by Division District Station 2009 to 31st May 2025” for a breakdown of active members of An Garda Síochána for Cork County.

I have requested the information sought by the Deputy from the Garda authorities. Regrettably, it has not been possible to compile the information in time and I will write to the Deputy once the information is available.
