I have been informed by the Garda authorities, which are responsible for the detailed allocation of resources, including personnel, that the individual referred to by the Deputy served in the Garda Síochána from 15 May 1981 until he resigned his position on 26 August 1999 to take up a post with the United Nations, International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia.

The Commissioner recently proposed this individual's re-appointment under the provisions of Regulation 13 of the Garda Síochána (Admissions and Appointments) Regulations 1988 and subject to appropriate medical certification by the Garda chief medical officer. I have approved the Commissioner's proposal and notified him accordingly.
