As the Deputy will appreciate, it is the Garda Commissioner who is responsible for the recruitment of cleaning and ancillary staff for the Garda College and I, as Minister, have no direct role in this matter. I understand that Garda management keeps the matter under continual review.

I am informed by the Commissioner there are 48.8 cleaners and ancillary staff employed in the College and that arrangements are in train to fill a supervisory position for the cleaning staff.
