Policing Issues: An Garda Síochána

Mr. Joseph Nugent:
To deal with the statistics in the first instance, the number of sworn members availing of sick leave on 5 December was 575. The number of members on light duties or restricted hours as at 30 June - I apologise for the date but it is indicative - was 474. Those are the two sets of statistics. Clearly, this has an impact on the number of individuals available for operational policing roles.
