The Deputy will be aware that in accordance with the Garda Síochána Act 2005 as amended, the Garda Commissioner is responsible for managing and controlling the administration and business of An Garda Síochána.

I have requested information from An Garda Síochána on the matter requested by the Deputy and will write directly to the Deputy when it is received.

The following deferred reply was received under Standing Order 51

I am informed by the Garda authorities that the attached table provides a breakdown of the number of Gardaí in Carlow/Kilkenny that have successfully completed CBD3, CBD4 and CBD5 in years 2018, 2019 and 2020 to date.
