Question 367: To ask the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform, further to Parliamentary Question No. 922 of 2 April 2008, the reason it is not possible to transfer annual increments which happens elsewhere for transfers in the public service. [15122/08]

Any comparison with transfers generally in the Public Service must take into account the fact that the duties of An Garda Síochána are unique and wide ranging. This is evident in the requirement for Garda recruits to undergo a two year intensive training programme. These unique duties and training requirements militate against the introduction of a similar incremental credit scheme as is in place for other areas of the Public Service.
