The Donegal Garda Division is one of just five in the country that had more Gardai at the start of 2023 than the previous 12 months.
According to figures contained in the Irish Independent today, almost a third of the country’s Garda stations had fewer officers at the end of last year.
Along with Donegal, Dublin North, Dublin North Central, Dublin South Central and Dublin West had more Gardai.
However, of the 11 stations who lost their permanent Gardai in 2023, Ballintra and Carrigart were two of them.
