asked the Minister for Justice the number of persons in the Garda Síochána who are now able to converse in Russian; and if any further members of the force are studying this language.

8.
The six members of the force mentioned in my reply to a question by the Deputy on 28th February, 1974 are still attending classes in Russian on an official basis and are able to converse in Russian.
I am not in a position to say whether any other members can converse in Russian or are learning it privately.
