Written answers

I propose to take Questions Nos. 293 and 294 together.

I have requested the information sought by the Deputy from the Garda Commissioner and when this is to hand, I will write to the Deputy directly.

I wish to make clear to the Deputy that the archiving of records, in this case metadata, is an operational matter for the Garda Commissioner. The control, direction and operation of An Garda Síochána is not subject to the powers of my office and these are limitations which must be respected.

The deferred reply under Standing Order 42A was forwarded to the Deputy.
