Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 31 May 2022
593. Deputy Sorca Clarke asked the Minister for Justice the number of gardaí in counties Longford and Westmeath who have faced disciplinary action for using the siren or flashing blue lights without a level two competency-based driver assessment, in tabular form. [27779/22]
View answerAs the Deputy will be aware, the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the administration and management of Garda business under Section 26 of the Garda Síochána Act 2005 (as amended). The Commissioner is also responsible for the maintenance of Garda discipline under the Garda Discipline Regulations. As Minister, I play no role in internal discipline matters within An Garda Síochána.
I am advised by the Garda authorities that it is not possible to provide a response to the Deputy's question due to the narrow parameters of the query which could lead to the identification of individual members in that area.
