Vol. 407 No. 1

Written Answers. - Carrying of Firearms by Gardaí.

Bernard Allen

Ceist:

226 Mr. Allen asked the Minister for Justice if he proposes to pay a special allowance to Garda Sergeants and Inspectors who carry guns, having regard to the new and exacting standards which are being imposed on those who carry firearms in the course of duty as a result of a recent report on firearms training.

The carrying of firearms is part of the normal duties of the gardaí to whom they are assigned. Consequently, the payment of an allowance in this respect does not arise.
