Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 9 April 2024
867. Deputy Jim O'Callaghan asked the Minister for Justice the number of arrests from Store Street Garda station in the years of 2023 and to-date in 2024, in tabular form; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [14202/24]
View answerAs you may be aware, the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the management and administration of An Garda Síochána under Section 26 of the Garda Síochána Act 2005 (as amended), which includes all operational policing matters. As Minister, I play no role in these independent functions.
I am advised by the Garda authorities that a search of the PULSE database was conducted on 3 March 2023 for arrests between 1 January 2023 to 21 March 2024 (the latest date for which figures are available) in which the station of custody was recorded as Store Street.
Based on the numbers returned, the table below shows the count of arrests by year.
