1443. Deputy Alan Kelly asked the Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration the number of Gardaí, by rank attached to DMR north divisional search team. [43839/26]

The Garda Commissioner is responsible for the management and administration of An Garda Síochána under the Policing, Security and Community Safety Act 2024, which includes the distribution and stationing of Garda personnel throughout the State.

I contacted the Garda Authorities to request the information requested by the Deputy however the Garda Authorities sought a clarification of the phrase 'Divisional Search Team'. I have sought a clarification from the Deputy, however, I have not received further information.

It is open to the Deputy to resubmit a question at a later date with further information on what they are referring to with the phrase 'Divisional Search Team'.

The Deputy may wish to note that An Garda Síochána publishes information in relation to the allocation of Garda members nationally. This can be found at the following link:

The Deputy should select the most recently available date and then select the relevant file.
