I have requested a report from An Garda Síochána in relation to this matter, and will provide this information directly to the Deputy on receipt of said report.
The following deferred reply was received under Standing Order 42A
I refer to Parliamentary Question 257 of 19 December 2018, in which the Deputy asked the number of passenger lifts inspected by An Garda Síochána on large PSVs by Garda division in each of the years 2015 to 2017, and to date in 2018.
As the Deputy will recall, a report on this matter was requested from An Garda Síochána. I am informed that inspections of passenger lifts, on large PSVs by An Garda Síochána, are conducted as part of the routine inspections carried out by PSV Officers on large PSVs.
I have been informed by An Garda Síochána that it is not possible to provide data in respect of the number of passenger lifts inspected by An Garda Síochána, as this data is recorded manually and is not readily available from an IT system. Therefore, a manual trawl would have to be conducted in order to compile these statistics, which would not be justified due to the expenditure of the disproportionate amount of Garda time required to complete the task.
Unfortunately, I cannot be of further assistance at this time.
