Written answers

Minister for Justice

As the Deputy will be aware, under the Garda Síochána Act 2005 (as amended), the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the management and administration of An Garda Síochána, which includes Garda training. As Minister, I have no role in such matters.

The table below, provided to me by the Garda authorities, outlines the number of public order training courses held for Gardaí­ within the Kildare Division in 2021 and to date in 2022.
