The Deputy will appreciate that the Garda Commissioner is responsible, by law, for the management and administration of An Garda Síochána, and I, as Minister, have no direct role in such matters.

I have requested information from the Garda Commissioner in relation to this question and will write to the Deputy directly with the information sought, when it is available.
