I have requested observations from An Garda Síochána in regards to this matter, and I will respond to the Deputy's question when the information is available.

The following deferred reply was received under Standing Order 51
I refer to Parliamentary Question Number 158 for answer on 22 October 2020, in which you requested “the degree to which membership of organised criminal gangs continues to be monitored; if the levels of membership has fluctuated and to what extent over the past ten years; and if she will make a statement on the matter.”. You will recall that the information could not be obtained in the time available and I undertook to consult with An Garda Síochána and to contact you again.
On foot of these consultations, I can inform you that An Garda Síochána, for policy and security reasons, does not comment on matters of security.
I hope this information is of assistance.
