As the Deputy will be aware, under the Garda Síochána Act 2005 (as amended), the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the administration and management of An Garda Síochána, including the recording of information on the Garda PULSE system. As Minister, I have no role in such matters.
I am advised that the Garda Síochána Analysis Service (GSAS) conducted a search of Garda records on the PULSE system for Affray/Riot/Violent Disorder offences in the Ballymun District for the years requested.
I have also been advised that the count was less than 10 in each of the years requested. As the Deputy may already be aware, data is not released by An Garda Síochána for counts less than 10 for data protection reasons.
