I am advised by the Garda Authorities that external email facilities are provided to all Gardaí from Inspector rank upwards as well as to members of other ranks and civilian staff based on operational needs. Internal email is provided to all ranks of An Garda Síochána via the PULSE environment.

I am also advised that currently a pilot project is running in the Dublin Metropolitan Region which provides section mailboxes to all District and Divisional offices. This will enable external communications directly with the offices involved. When the pilot is complete, the roll-out of section mailboxes across the organisation will be planned.
