Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 16 April 2024
521. Deputy Alan Kelly asked the Minister for Justice if any gardaí have gone to the UK for specialist training which is not available within the State in 2023 and to date in 2024; and if so, the type of training sought and the duration of this training, in tabular form. [16402/24]
View answerAs the Deputy will be aware, the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the management and administration of Garda business, including the training of Garda members and staff. As Minister, I have no role in the specific training provided to any Garda member to undertake any part of their duties.
I am advised by the Garda authorities that no Garda members travelled to the UK for training in the years referred to.
