Question:

220. Deputy Pádraig Mac Lochlainn asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if she will provide a breakdown of the number of inspections of language schools and schools for international students carried out by the Garda National Immigration Bureau in each year from 2010 to 2014 and in 2015 to date; and the number of suspensions or closures that have resulted from these inspections.

Written answers

Minister for Justice and Equality

The Deputy's request has been forwarded to the relevant Garda Office and I am informed that the information is currently being collated. In relation to school inspections, I am informed that such inspections may be carried out by Gardaí outside of the centralised Garda National Immigration Bureau. I expect the information requested to be available shortly at which time I will forward it to the Deputy.
