Public Accounts Committee

2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána

9:30 am

Mr. Drew Harris:

May I give some of the figures? The target is to have 220 personnel trained nationally in computer forensics and cybercrime investigation. We are on course to train 130 members in 2022, on top of the 220 who were trained last year. Regarding the bureau itself, we have 67 staff and there are plans to grow further. A further 34 are to be deployed through resource allocation. Also, there will be further recruitment of Garda staff to the bureau.
