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 which is publicly available and can be found at the following link:

The Deputy should select the file titled “Garda Members by Division 2006 to 31 July 2025” for a breakdown of active members of An Garda Síochána.
