asked the Minister for Justice the names of individual Deputies and/or Senators who were met on matters related to Garda business by the Garda Commissioner since his appointment; and the subject of such individual meetings.
Written Answers. - Public Representatives Meetings with Garda Síochána.

Deputies and Senators not infrequently form part of delegations who are concerned about local policing matters and who are met by the local divisional or district Garda officers. I consider that this is the appropriate and most effective level at which matters of this nature can be discussed. I understand that it is only very rarely, if indeed ever, that the Commissioner himself would meet formally with public representatives to discuss matters related to Garda business.
