As the Deputy will appreciate, it is the Garda Commissioner who is responsible for carrying on and managing and controlling generally the administration and business of An Garda Síochána.
I have requested the information sought by the Deputy from the Commissioner and I will write to the Deputy on receipt of same.
The following deferred reply was received under Standing Order 42A
I refer to Parliamentary Question No. 140 for answer on 11 April 2017, the text of which was as follows:-
"To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality the number of officers in each Garda division currently off work due to work-related stress or injury."
At the time I responded that I would request the information sought by the Deputy from the Commissioner and I would write directly to you on receipt of same.
As you will appreciate the Garda Commissioner is responsible for carrying on and managing and controlling generally the administration and business of An Garda Síochána and I, as Minister have no direct role in the matter.
I am informed by the Garda Commissioner that sickness absences are recorded on the Sickness Management Absence System under the following categories: - Ordinary illness - Occupational injury/illness arising from duty - Critical illness. I am further informed there is currently no specific sub-category on the Sickness Absence Management System for the recording of absences due to work related stress. The following table provides the details on the number of members per Division who are availing of sick leave categorised as Occupational injury/illness arising from duty, which contains the sub categories outlined below as of 7th April 2017, the latest date for which figures are currently available.
Occupational injury/illness arising from duty contains the following sub categories: - Injury on Duty: Accident - Injury on Duty: RTA
- Malicious Injury Off Duty
- Malicious Injury On Duty
- Occupational illness arising from duty. I hope this information is of assistance.
Number of members on occupational injury/illness arising from duty.
