Thomas P. Broughan

Question:

567. Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality further to Parliamentary Question No. 577 of 26 July 2017, if the report is now available on the number of persons that were charged for copies of Garda abstracts and statements since 1 January 2017; the amount of these charges in view of the fact that the Policing Authority has provided these figures to a road safety group; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [47075/17]

Written answers

Minister for Justice and Equality

The Deputy will be aware that the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the administration and control of An Garda Síochána, including in relation to charges levied in respect of the provision of Garda abstracts and statements. As Minister, I have no function in relation to the matter.

However, I have again requested the Garda Commissioner to provide the information requested and I can assure the Deputy that I will revert to him directly when it is to hand.
