Written answers

Minister for Justice and Equality

As the Deputy will appreciate, it is the Garda Commissioner who is responsible for managing and controlling generally the administration and business of An Garda Síochána and, as Minister, I have no direct role in relation to these matters.

I will request the Garda Commissioner to supply the specific information directly to the Deputy.
