Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 9 May 2023
463. Deputy Jim O'Callaghan asked the Minister for Justice further to Parliamentary Question No. 1040 of 18 April 2023, if he has received the necessary information from the Garda authorities to have this PQ answered; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [21707/23]
View answerI understand that Parliamentary Question No. 1040 of 18 April 2023 refers to the number of persons arrested and charged with public order offences within Garda B and C districts of DMR on both 17 and 18 March 2023, in tabular form.
As you 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 districts referred to by the Deputy are Pearse Street, South Central District (B District) and Store Street, North Central District (C District).
The tables below, provided to me by the Garda authorities, outline incidents of Public Order which were reported in Store Street and Pearse Street Districts on 17 and 18 March 2023.
The second table outlines any charge, summons, prisoner log, caution or referral associated with these incidents.
It is worth noting that 12 of the 37 incidents reported in Pearse Street and Store Street Districts had a different district of custody, meaning the incident occurred in Store Street /Pearse Street Districts but the prisoner was held elsewhere.
Due to data protection, figures of less than 10 are denoted by an asterisk (*).
