I propose to take Questions Nos. 693 and 694 together.
As the Deputy will be aware, the Garda Commissioner is responsible by law for the management and administration of An Garda Síochána, including all operational policing and enforcement matters. As Minister, I have no direct role in these matters. For the Deputy's information, I am advised that Ballincollig Garda Station is not a 24 hour station and is part of the Togher District.
I am informed by Garda Authorities that a search of the PULSE database was conducted for prisoner logs where the arrest or entry date is within the period 01/01/2018-31/12/21 and the station was ‘Ballincollig’.
There were 13 total prisoner logs for this period.
In relation to arrests for anti-social behavior, I have been advised by the Garda authorities that it is not possible to provide a statistical breakdown as the low number of total arrests may present a data protection concern.
Please note that this incident data is based upon operational data from the PULSE system as was available at 01:00 on 24/06/2022 and is liable to change.
Question No. 694 answered with Question No. 693.
