I propose to take Questions Nos. 257, 260 and 261 together.

The Deputy will appreciate that it is the Garda Commissioner who is primarily responsible for managing and controlling generally the administration and business of An Garda Síochána including training.

Notwithstanding the information provided by Minister of State Stanton in response to your Question No. 256 of today's date, I have asked the Garda Commissioner for the specific information requested and when it is to hand I will inform the Deputy accordingly.
