The Deputy will be aware that the information sought in Question No. 369 of 11 October 2005 was not fully available at that time. I have since been informed by the Garda authorities that the Garda Commissioner received a request from the Association of Garda, Sergeants and Inspectors regarding funding for the research project referred to by the Deputy. I am informed that Garda management is willing to part-fund the project on a tripartite basis with the relevant staff associations and that this proposal is currently under consideration by them.
