New Gardaí Confirmed for Finglas and Ballymun

It was great to see this morning’s allocation of new Gardaí to North and West Dublin.

In this morning’s announcement, of the 207 new Gardaí nationwide, 84 will be allocated to the Dublin region and 9 to the Dublin North West area.

This brings the total allocation of new Gardaí to 28 in Finglas and 32 in Ballymun since January.

The latest attestation of new Guards sees the organisation reach its highest numbers of sworn members since the foundation of the State at 14,980 and follows sustained progress in Garda recruitment.

Dublin North West has seen a continued commitment with new Gardaí allocations since January as 60 Gardaí have been allocated to our area. Our communities have been fortunate to have continuously received new Gardaí in every announcement this year.

The work of Gardaí in Dublin 9 and 11 is vital to keeping people safe and Minister Jim O’Callaghan is delivering real results with his continued commitment to ensuring that our communities are properly policed
