Question:

82. Deputy Alan Kelly asked the Minister for Justice the number of gardaí who successful completed Garda van/personnel carrier course within Tipperary division to date in 2023; and the duration of this course. [48861/23]

Written answers

Minister for Justice

As the Deputy is aware, in accordance with the Garda Síochána Act 2005 (as amended), it is the Garda Commissioner who is responsible for managing and controlling the administration and business of An Garda Síochána, including the deployment of Garda resources and training of Garda personnel. As Minister, I have no direct role in these matters.

I am advised by the Garda authorities no Garda members in the Tipperary Division have completed the van/personnel carrier course to date in 2023.
