There was an increase in the number of Gardaí in the Donegal Garda Division at the start of last year.
According to the Irish Independent, Donegal was one of just five divisions in the country that had more guards at the start of 2023 than in the previous 12 months.
However, Ballintra and Carrigart were two of the 11 stations nationally that lost their permanent Gardaí in 2023.
Almost a third of the country’s Garda stations had fewer officers at the end of last year.
As well as Donegal, only divisions in Dublin North, Dublin North Central, Dublin South Central and Dublin West had more Gardai.
