Amharc ar fhreagra136. Deputy Niall Collins asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if serving sworn members of An Garda Síochána while the subject of a public interest inquiry are permitted to be promoted; if not, if promotion is dependent upon the outcome of such an inquiry. [42535/19]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 134 to 136, inclusive, together.
The Garda Commissioner has responsibility for managing An Garda Síochána and for the allocation of Garda resources, in light of identified operational demands. This includes responsibility for personnel matters. As Minister I have no direct role in these matters.
I have requested a report from the Garda authorities in relation to the matters raised by the Deputy. I will write directly to the Deputy once I receive it.
