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.

599 Gardaí attested from the Garda College across 2024. 423 have attested so far in 2025 with a further attestation scheduled for later this year.

The table below outlines the number who attested in each relevant month across 2024 and so far in 2025.

Attestation date Number Attested
March 2024 165
June 2024 157
September 2024 108
December 2024 169
March 2025 149
June 2025 120
August 2025 154
In the interest of transparency, figures in relation to the allocation of probationer Gardaí by Division, Station and rank, including for each Garda station in the country, is publicly available and can be found at the following link on the Garda website: www.garda.ie/en/about-us/our-departments/human-resources-and-people-development/garda-hr-directorate/garda-strength-breakdown-2025/.

The Deputy should access the file titled "Allocation of Probationer Gardai by Division and Station 2015 to 31st July" for the requested breakdown. Please be advised that this information is operational and may be subject to change.
