An Garda Síochána
Dail Éireann — 2023-07-11
============================================================

Brendan Howlin (LAB), Wexford

In light of the very worrying trend of a continuing decline month on month in garda numbers, I ask the Minister to set out what the current operational strength is and what her projections are and to give that in detail in terms of new recruits, retirements, resignations and what the net figures will be or are likely to be over the next 18 months.
