As the Deputy will be aware, under the Garda Síochána Act 2005 (as amended), the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the administration and management of An Garda Síochána, including operational policing matters. As Minister, I have no direct role.
The table below, provided to me by the Garda authorities, outlines the number of unique incidents in the Public Order category reported in the Blanchardstown District between 1 January 2020 and 6 July 2022, grouped by year reported. I am advised by the Garda authorities that ‘K’ refers to a Garda District (Blanchardstown) which is part of the Western Division of the Dublin region.
