Eleven new Gardaí have been allocated to the northwestern region, which includes the Galway Division, from a class of 167.
On Thursday, 167 Gardaí were attested as sworn members of An Garda Síochána, bringing the total number of officers in the force up to 14,564.
The newly sworn class will be allocated as follows: 104 to the Dublin region, 31 to the Eastern Region, 21 to the South Region, and 11 to the Northwestern Region.
The class contained 100 male recruits and 67 female recruits, with 23 of the new Gardaí born outside of the state.
The 167 newly-attested Gardaí bring to nearly 1,800 the number of Probationer Gardaí attested since recruitment recommenced in 2022, post Covid.
A further 410 Garda recruits are currently undergoing the training programme at the Garda College, with another 215 due to enter the college next week.
Alongside the 14,564 sworn Gardaí, the service also has 3,692 Garda Staff and 308 Garda Reserves.
