Minister for Justice

Under Section 26 of the Garda Síochána Act 2005 (as amended), the Garda Commissioner has responsibility for the management and administration of Garda business, including the deployment of immigration officers countrywide and those attached to the Garda National Immigration Bureau (GNIB).

As the Deputy will be aware, Garda Immigration officers have numerous functions, including registrations of immigration permissions for customers living outside the Dublin area, carrying out deportations, border control at ports of entry other than Dublin Airport, and investigations relating to illegal immigration.

I have contacted An Garda Síochána for the information requested by the Deputy, regretfully this information was not available in time. I will write to the Deputy once the information is to hand.

The following deferred reply was received under Standing Order 51
