The Garda Commissioner is responsible under section 33 of the Policing, Security and Community Safety Act 2024 for the management and administration of An Garda Síochána, which includes the distribution and stationing of Garda personnel throughout the State. The Commissioner is independent in his functions under section 34 of the Act and, as Minister, I have no role in these independent functions.

I am advised by the Garda authorities that there is currently one Sergeant and six Gardaí permanently allocated to Athenry Garda Station.

In the interest of transparency, information in relation to the allocation of Gardaí by Division, Station and rank, and Garda Staff by Division and Station, including for Athenry Garda station, is publicly available and can be found at the following link:

The Deputy should select the most recent month and access the file titled “Garda Members by Division District Station 2009 to the most recent date” for a breakdown of total Garda numbers by Garda station going back to 2009.

The Deputy should select the most recent month and access the file titled “Garda Staff by Division and Station to the most recent date” for a breakdown of total Gardaí numbers going back to 2010.
