Questions (1281)
Written answers
I have requested a report on the information sought by the Deputy from An Garda Síochána and unfortunately the report was not to hand in time.
I will write to the Deputy on receipt of the requested information.
The following deferred reply was received under Standing Order 51
I refer to your Parliamentary Question (No. 1281 of 19 January 2022) where you sought: “the number of gardaí trained in public order in each Garda division as of 31 December 2021” .
As you will recall, I sought the information you requested from the Garda authorities and undertook to contact you again once the report was to hand.
As you will be aware, under the Garda Síochána Act 2005, the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the administration and management of An Garda Síochána, including Garda training matters. As Minister, I have no direct role in these matters.
I am informed by the Garda authorities that the table below outlines the number of Gardaí in Divisions/Units who are trained in Public Order, as at 19 January 2022.
