Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 8 February 2022
580. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Justice the number of committal warrants issued to gardaí in the Kildare division in 2021; and the number of these warrants that were executed within 28 days. [6212/22]
View answerThe Deputy will be aware that, under the Garda Síochána Act 2005 (as amended), the Garda Commissioner is responsible for managing, controlling and generally carrying on the business of An Garda Síochána. As Minister, I have no direct role in these matters.
I am informed by the Garda authorities that a search of the PULSE database was conducted on 3 February 2022 to identify any Committal Warrant or Estreatment of Bail Committal Warrant issued during 2021 and first received by a station within Kildare Division. I am advised that 73 unique Warrant IDs were identified, 14 of which have a current status of ‘Executed’ and have also recorded an Execution Date within 28 days of Issue Date. I am informed that these figures are operational and liable to change.
