Amharc ar fhreagraAs the Deputy will appreciate, the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the administration of An Garda Síochána, including recruitment and the management of Garda resources. As Minister, I have no direct role in these matters.
I am advised that there are no civilian equine instructors/trainers attached to the Garda Mounted Unit.
I am informed that all instruction and training is carried out by the two qualified Garda members attached to the unit.
