The Deputy should select the Garda Workforce figures for the latest available month (August 2025) and access the file titled “Garda members by Division District Station 2009 to 31st August 2025” for a breakdown of Gardaí by Garda station going back to 2009.

The Garda Commissioner is responsible for the distribution and stationing of Garda personnel throughout the State under Section 33 of the Policing, Security and Community Safety Act 2024. As Minister I have no role in these independent functions.
