Comment on this
The Government is fully committed to providing An Garda Síochána with the resources it needs and this is reflected in the unprecedented allocation of over €2.74 billion in Budget 2026.
In accordance with the Policing Security and Community Safety Act 2024 the Garda Commissioner is responsible for distribution and stationing of Garda personnel throughout the State, including to the Garda National Immigration Bureau.
I am advised by the Garda Authorities there are currently 118 Garda Members assigned to the Garda National Immigration Bureau. This includes 97 Gardaí, 15 Sergeants, three Inspectors, two Superintendents and one Chief Superintendent. A divisional breakdown of these figures is not currently available.
