The Garda Commissioner is statutorily responsible for the management of An Garda Síochána, including personnel matters and deployment of resources. Appointment to the rank of Sergeant is a matter for the Garda Commissioner under section 14 of the Act.

I have asked the Garda Commissioner for the information requested and as soon as it is received I will write directly to the Deputy.
