255 Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the selection procedure in relation to the Garda Commissioner and Assistant Commissioner. [21581/03]
The power to appoint a Garda Commissioner is exclusively vested in the Government by virtue of section 6(2) of the Police Forces Amalgamation Act 1925. The procedure to select a Commissioner and the pool of persons considered is a matter for Government to determine, when the making of such an appointment is required.
