Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 429 and 430 together.
The Garda Commissioner is responsible for carrying on and managing and controlling generally the administration and business of An Garda Síochána including personnel/human resources and operational matters. Moreover, disciplinary matters within An Garda Síochána are governed by the Garda Síochána Act 2005 and the Garda Síochána (Discipline) Regulations 2007 and are a matter for the Garda Commissioner and not for me as Minister.
I have requested a report from the Commissioner in relation to the matter referred to by the Deputy and I will write to him directly when I receive it.
