Written answers

As the Deputy will be aware, the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the management and administration of Garda business under Section 26 of the Garda Síochána Act 2005 (as amended). This includes all internal Human Resources matters, and the maintenance of HR records for the organisation. 

I have contacted the Garda authorities and have been advised that An Garda Síochána do not record the ethnicity of attested Garda members. As a result, the information requested by the Deputy is not available.
