Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 20 June 2017
761. Deputy Alan Kelly asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the organisational breakdown of the policing division of his Department; and the personnel changes that have taken place in the division from assistant principal officer to assistant secretary level since 2005. [27326/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Policing Division of my Department comprises an Assistant Secretary and, at the present date, 5 Principal Officer and 8 Assistant Principal posts together with relevant staff. The areas comprising the Division are: Garda Industrial Relations Section, Garda Síochána Section, Governance and Accountability Section, and Policing Authority Section. The Policing Authority Section acts as liaison between my Department and the independent Policing Authority.
There has been significant turnover in personnel in Policing Division since 2005, and there has been a complete change in all the grades in question since 2014. Records are not held in such a way as to be able to easily identify individual post-holders over time.
