As 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 personnel matters.
I am informed by the Commissioner that the specific information requested by the Deputy is not collected.
Sickness absences are recorded and reported under the following categories – ordinary Illness; Occupational Injury/illness arising from Duty; and Critical Illness.
Ordinary Illness Category contains the following sub categories - Flu/Viral; Mental Health; Musculoskeletal, Not Provided; Other-Please Specify; Post Pregnancy; Pregnancy Related.
Occupational Injury/illness arising from Duty Category contains the following sub-categories - Injury On Duty: Accident; Injury On Duty: RTA; Malicious Injury Off Duty; Malicious Injury On Duty; Occupational illness arising from duty.
There is no specific sub-category on the Sickness Absence Management System for the recording of absences as a result of Bullying and Harassment and as such it is not possible to provide the number of members on sick leave due to Bullying and Harassment.
