Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 21 June 2022
673. Deputy Alan Kelly asked the Minister for Justice the number of gardaí within the Tipperary Garda Diversionl that successfully completed the Garda van course in each of the years 2020, 2021 and to date in 2022, in tabular form. [32220/22]
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. This includes the arrangement of training courses for Garda members. As Minister, I have no direct role in these matters.
The table below, which has been provided to me by the Garda authorities, sets out the number of Gardaí assigned to Tipperary Division who successfully completed Garda van related driving courses in the years 2020 and 2021, and up to 20 June 2022. I am advised that van personnel training courses are delivered subject to the operational needs of the organisation.
