Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 27 February 2024
341. Deputy Emer Higgins asked the Minister for Justice if she will provide a list of what forms persons can attend a Garda station for official approval with a stamp; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [8895/24]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs the Deputy will be aware, the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the management and administration of An Garda Síochána. As Minister, I have no role in any operational matters for the Garda Commissioner.
I have been advised by the Garda authorities that there are a number of forms available on the Garda Portal, each of which would require examination to determine if they require a Garda Station stamp. To complete this examination and compile this information would involve a disproportionate expenditure of Garda resources. In addition, a number of forms not owned, issued or available to An Garda Síochána require a Garda Station stamp. It is not possible to provide details of these.
