Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 8 June 2016
90. Deputy Jonathan O'Brien asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality the number of members of An Garda Síochána who are qualified to drive Garda cars as a percentage of the force; her plans to improve this; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [14316/16]
View answerAs the Deputy will appreciate, it is the Garda Commissioner who is responsible for carrying on and managing and controlling generally the administration and business of An Garda Síochána, including by arranging for the training of its members and civilian staff and I, as Minister, have no direct role in the matter.
I have requested the information sought by the Deputy from the Commissioner and I will write to him on receipt of same.
