Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 21 March 2023
291. Deputy Patrick Costello asked the Minister for Transport the number of Airport police staff that have training in relation to human trafficking awareness or human trafficking indicators; to what level this training is provided; if this training is provided on an ongoing basis; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13435/23]
View answerAs the Deputy will be aware, daa has statutory responsibility to operate, manage and develop Dublin and Cork Airports. Airport police, as employees of the relevant airport, are "authorised officers" under the Air Navigation and Transport (Amendment) Act 1998, as amended. As such, matters in relation to staffing issues, including staff training are a matter for daa.
I have therefore forwarded your question to daa for direct reply. If the Deputy does not receive a response within ten working days, please advise my Private Office.
