One garda assigned to Tipperary/Clare division following recent ceremony
One garda is to be assigned to Clonmel station, but no other town or village in the county was allocated any more gardaí
Just one garda will be allocated to the Tipperary/Clare Division following Friday’s attestation in Templemore, out of the 193 probationary gardaí who were assigned to garda divisions across the country.
The one extra allocation is to be based out of Clonmel garda station. Earlier in 2026, two probationery gardaí were allocated to stations in the Clare/Tipperary Division, one also to Clonmel station and the other to Ennis Station.
A total of 14 gardaí are to be allocated to the Southern Region altogether following last week’s ceremony: the one in Clonmel, another one in Anglesea Street in Cork City, one in Midleton in Cork, nine to Roxboro and Henry Street in Limerick, and two to Tralee.
134 men and 59 women made up the ranks of new gardaí on Friday. Over 200 more are due to enter Templemore this week, bringing the total number of current trainees to over 600.
The Mayo/Longford/Roscommon district was the only area to receive no additional gardaí last week, while the vast majority of the 193 are to go to the Dublin west and north areas, with allocations of 56 and 57 gardaí respectively.
As of December 2025, figures showed that there were 86 garda staff in total in the Nenagh area, with the majority (58) in Nenagh town, and none in either Cloughjordan or Lorrha stations. There were one each in Moneygall, Portroe, and Toomvara, 14 in Roscrea, nine in Newport, and two in Borrisokane.
In the Thurles area, there were 60 garda staff in Thurles town, 28 in Templemore, four in Killenaule, and one each in Ballingarry, Holycross, and Littleton. None were allocated to stations in Borrisoleagih or Templetuohy.
In December 2025 and before the recent allocations, there were 58 garda staff in Clonmel, 13 in Carrick-on-Suir, two in Fethard, one in Mullinahone, and none based in Kilsheelan. At the same time, there were 36 in Cahir, 14 in Cashel, and one each in Ardfinnan, Clogheen, and Ballyporeen.
In Tipperary Town, there were 55 garda staff, another two in Emly, one each in Cappawhite and in Golden, and none allocated to Bansha.
Recently published government figures also show that there are 17 gardaí assigned to the Divisional Drug Unit of Clare/Tipperary, one less than in November 2025. Two Garda recruitment campaigns ran in 2025, where over 11,100 people applied to enter An Garda Síochána.
