As the Deputy will appreciate, the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the management and administration of An Garda Síochána, including HR matters.
I am informed by the Garda authorities that the table below sets out the number of Garda members and Garda staff who resigned on health grounds in the years 2018 to 2022, and up to 22 May 2023. Please note that these figures are operational and may change.
I am further informed that to break down these figures by rank or grade would risk identifying the individual cases and therefore I am unable to provide this information to the Deputy.
