Written answers
I have sought a report from the Garda authorities on the matters raised by the Deputy, and I will contact him directly when this is to hand.
The following deferred reply was received under Standing Order 51
I refer to Parliamentary Question number 352 of 7 October 2021 where you asked for the number of Gardaí dismissed from the service under a disciplinary sanction by rank in 2018 to 2020, and to date in 2021.
You will recall that the information could not be obtained in the time available and I undertook to consult with An Garda Síochána and contact you again when the requested information was available.
As you will be aware, the Garda Commissioner is by law responsible for the management and administration of An Garda Síochána, including all matters relating to discipline. As Minister for Justice, I have no direct role in these matters.
I am advised by the Garda authorities that the table below outlines the number of members dismissed from the service under a disciplinary sanction by rank from 2018 to 2020, and to date in 2021.
