Many members of the public may not be aware of the fact that in order for members of An Garda Síochána to engage in high-speed chases in Garda vehicles and to use flashing blue lights, they are required to have competency based driving, CBD, level 2 training.

According to recent reports from the Garda Representative Association, up to 50% of members of An Garda Síochána did not have this level of training. Will the Minister clarify if this figure is correct and make a statement on the matter?
