Written answers
As the Deputy will appreciate, the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the management and administration of Garda business under section 26 of the Garda Síochána Act 2005 (as amended). The Commissioner is also responsible for the maintenance of Garda discipline under the Garda Síochána (Discipline) Regulations 2007 (as amended). As Minister, I have no role in internal Garda human resources matters, or the investigation of any complaints.
To be of assistance to the Deputy I have contacted the Garda authorities and have been advised that as of 17 April, there are 20 active bullying/harassment cases within An Garda Síochána.
