Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 21 June 2022
696. Deputy Martin Kenny asked the Minister for Justice the number of gardaí who have completed the competency based driving level 2 course by rank in each of the years since 2018 to date in 2022, in tabular form. [32364/22]
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 tables below, furnished to me by the Garda authorities, show the number of Garda members by rank who have successfully completed Competency Based Driving Level 2 in the years in question.
