Question:

636. Deputy Thomas Pringle asked the Minister for Justice and Equality when each piece of Garda public order uniform and equipment was last updated; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [14294/20]

Written answers

Minister for Justice and Equality

As the Deputy will be aware, the Commissioner of An Garda Síochána by law is responsible for the administration and management of An Garda Síochána, including the updating and distribution of Garda public order uniform and equipment, and I as Minister have no role in the matter.

With regard to the specific nature of your query, I have referred this matter to An Garda Síochána and will respond to the Deputy accordingly upon receipt of this information.
