As the Deputy will appreciate, the Garda Commissioner is responsible, by law, for the management and administration of An Garda Síochána, including decisions in relation to the training of Garda personnel. As Minister, I have no direct role in these matters.
I am advised by the Garda authorities that the Garda Executive has authorised the resumption of in-person training for the organisation. Training resumed on 22 March 2021 for the Garda organisation, following the most recent suspension of in-person training owing to the public health response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
