As the Deputy will be aware, under Section 26 of the Garda Síochána Act 2005 (as amended) the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the management and administration of Garda business, including the provision of any services to the public.
As Minister, I have no role in overseeing such services. These are strictly operational matters for the Commissioner and his management team.
I would further note that the legislation governing the administration of these applications falls under the remit of my colleague, the Minister for Transport, and as Minister for Justice I have no role in the process or the policies governing these applications.
