Amharc ar fhreagraAs the Deputy will be aware, under the Garda Síochána Act 2005 (as amended), the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the administration and management of An Garda Síochána, including operational policing matters. As Minister, I have no direct role.
I am advised by the Garda authorities that a search of the PULSE database was conducted on 22 September 2022 to identify any warrant of type ‘Arrest Warrant’ issued since 1 January 2020 and with a Dublin District Court listed.
I am informed by the Garda authorities that due to low volumes, it is not possible to provide a breakdown below regional level.
The count of unique arrest warrants issued per year and the count of those with status of ‘Executed’ , for the DMR, is set out in the table below.
