Question:38 Mr. Howlin asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the guidelines issued to the Garda on the circumstances in which they can open fire; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [15417/00]
Vol. 520 No. 3
38 Mr. Howlin asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the guidelines issued to the Garda on the circumstances in which they can open fire; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [15417/00]
108 Mr. Howlin asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the guidelines issued to the Garda on the circumstances in which they can open fire; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [15728/00]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 38 and 108 together.
As I mentioned in my reply to Parliamentary Question No. 1 today, it is not the practice for the Garda Commissioner publicly to disclose operational guidelines on matters such as this.
