I propose to take Questions Nos. 145 and 146 together.
I have been informed by the Garda Commissioner that the number of members of An Garda Síochána and the PSNI who have taken part in personnel exchanges since 2005, was as set out in the following table.
| Year | AGS to PSNI (Duration) | PSNI to AGS (Duration) |
|---|---|---|
| 2005 | 1 (2 months) | 1 (2 months) |
| 2006 | 3 (2 months) | 1 (2 months) |
| 2007 | 9 (2 months) | 11 (2 months) |
| 2008 | 17 (2 months) | 11 (2 months) |
| 2009 | 8 (2 months) 7 (1 month) | 7 (2 months) 4 (1 month) |
| 2010 | 15 (1 month) | 15 (1 month) |
| 2011 | 15 (1 month) | 16 (1 month) |
| 2012 | 9 (1 month) | 10 (1 month) |
| 2013 | 5 (1 month) | 1 (1 month) |
I have requested the additional information sought by the Deputy from the Garda authorities. I will be in contact with the Deputy when this information is to hand.
