I have been informed by the Garda authorities that the report referred to by the Deputy was commissioned by the Garda Representative Association. While Garda management was not involved in the compilation of this report, it facilitated access to the estate for the purpose of the report. I believe that the Garda Commissioner attaches the highest importance to health and safety in Garda stations and more generally throughout the force and I understand that there is in place a programme of ongoing proactive management of health and safety issues.
