The allocation of newly attested Gardaí is an operational matter to be determined by the Commissioner. Newly attested Gardaí are allocated to specially designated training stations which have the required training and development structures and resources in place, including trained Garda tutors and access to a permanently appointed supervisory Sergeant who is thoroughly familiar with their responsibilities under the training programme.

I have been informed by the Garda authorities that in the latest attestation of 11 November 2025 there were 16 probationer Gardaí allocated to the Kildare/Carlow Division and four probationer Gardaí allocated to the Wexford/Wicklow Division.

In the interest of transparency, An Garda Síochána publishes information in relation to the allocation of Garda members nationally, including a breakdown of Garda divisions and stations nationwide. This can be found at the following link:

The Deputy should select the most recently available date and then select the file titled ‘Allocation of Probationer Garda by Division and Station 2015 to the most recent date".

I have contacted An Garda Síochána for the information requested by the Deputy, regrettably this information was not available in time. I will write to the Deputy once the information is to hand.
