As the Deputy 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. As Minister, I have no direct role in these matters.
I am informed by the Garda authorities that the HGV training course is considered to be a specialised programme and is only provided occasionally and to a small number of Garda members on receipt of a business case for same.
I am further informed that no Garda members have completed the HGV training course in 2021 and to date in 2022.
