I propose to take Questions Nos. 1322, 1323 and 1325 together.
I can advise the Deputy that the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform will be providing the number of civil service workers in County Clare in their response to this question and this will include civil servants in justice sector agencies other than An Garda Síochána.
The table below sets out the number of Garda members and staff in County Clare in each of the years 2016 to 2021.

It should be noted that the boundaries of the individual Garda Districts/Divisions are set by the Garda Commissioner with regard to the operational needs of An Garda Síochána and therefore do not match or conform to the boundaries of the local electoral areas.
