As the Deputy will appreciate, it is the Garda Commissioner who is responsible for carrying on and managing and controlling generally the administration and business of An Garda Síochána and I, as Minister, have no direct role in the matter.

I have requested a report from the Garda Commissioner in relation to the matter in question and I will write directly to the Deputy when the report is to hand.
