Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 13 December 2016
114. Deputy Jonathan O'Brien asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality the suicide prevention training available to gardaí; and the percentage of Gardaí that have taken this training up. [39846/16]
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 from the Garda Commissioner and when it is to hand I will provide it to the Deputy.
