Dáil Éireann Debate, Monday - 11 September 2017
637. Deputy John Curran asked the Minister for Justice and Equality further to Parliamentary Question No. 399 of 12 July 2017, the progress made to date to increase the Garda traffic corps by 10% during 2017 as set out by An Garda Síochána as a priority in the Garda policing plan for 2017; the number assigned to the Garda traffic corps in January 2016 and to date in 2017; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [38183/17]
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 and I, as Minister, have no direct role in the matter.
I have requested a report from the Garda Commissioner in relation to the matter in question and I will write directly to the Deputy when the report is to hand.
A referred reply was forwarded to the Deputy under Standing Order 42A.
