As the Deputy will be aware, the Garda Commissioner is by law responsible for the administration and management of An Garda Síochána, including all matters relating to discipline. As Minister I have no direct role in these decisions.
I am advised by the Garda authorities that the below figures reflect the number of members suspended for each of the years requested by the Deputy. I am further advised that An Garda Síochána do not provide details of the ranks of members suspended, as this might identify individuals.
