Written answers

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 in these independent functions.

I have been informed by An Garda Síochána that there is no location type of 'direct provision centres' on the Garda PULSE system. As a result, An Garda Síochána are unable to provide the information sought, or any reliable information related.
