1232. Deputy Jennifer Murnane O'Connor asked the Minister for Justice the number of gardaí within the Carlow-Kilkenny division who are trained in each level of public order training, in tabular form. [39098/23]
View answerAs 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 training and deployment of Garda members. As Minister, I have no role in such matters.
I am advised by the Garda authorities that a total of 38 Garda members have received basic public order training in the Kilkenny/Carlow Division; 24 Garda members in Kilkenny and 14 Garda members in Carlow.
