618. Deputy Darren O'Rourke asked the Minister for Justice the number of gardaí within the Meath division who have successful completed Garda driving level 3 course in 2021 and to-date in 2022, in tabular form. [28083/22]
View answerAs the Deputy will be aware, under the Garda Síochána Act 2005, the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the management and administration of An Garda Síochána, including Garda training. As Minister, I have no role in such matters.
The Deputy will be aware that Covid-19 restrictions on the Garda Training College constrained training opportunities for periods over the last two years.
I am informed by the Garda authorities that within the Meath Division, one Garda member successfully completed the Garda driving level 3 course (CBD3) in 2021, and that no Garda member has completed this course to date in 2022.
