574. Deputy Alan Kelly asked the Minister for Justice the number of gardaí by rank attached to the Garda band as of 7 February 2022; and if she will provide same figure as of 1 February 2020, in tabular form. [7634/22]
View answerAs the Deputy will appreciate, in accordance with the Garda Síochána Act 2005, as amended, the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the management and administration of An Garda Síochána. This includes responsibility for decisions in relation to the allocation and control of Garda personnel and resources. As Minister, I have no role in these matters.
I am advised by the Garda authorities that the table below sets out the number of Gardaí attached to the Garda Band at 1 February 2020 and 7 February 2022.
