Issues Relating to Road Safety: An Garda Síochána
Mr. Drew Harris:
As with any unit within An Garda Síochána, they, too, carry their extractions. I am au fait with the suspensions. A very small number of the suspensions relate to roads policing personnel. Beyond that, there are extractions for training, annual leave and sick leave absences. As an organisation, that runs at approximately 4% and must be reported every month. That is actually a very positive figure, given the nature of duties undertaken.
