Minister for Justice and Equality

I have been advised by the Garda Commissioner that each new piece of legislation which may impact upon the work of Garda members, such as road traffic legislation, is reviewed within An Garda Síochána and matters pertaining to Garda activities are highlighted, explained and disseminated throughout the Garda Organisation as Headquarter Directives.
