View answerCurrently there are 124 cases being assessed by my Department under the Garda Síochána (Compensation) Acts, 1941 and 1945. An assessment of an application is made based on all medical reports submitted by the applicant, together with a report on the incident by the Garda Commissioner and a report on the injury by the Garda Chief Medical Officer.
At present, my Department is examining two applications from Gardaí in Co. Carlow.
