As the Deputy will be aware, the Garda Commissioner is statutorily responsible for carrying on and managing and controlling generally the administration and business of An Garda Síochána including the maintenance of certain databases.

I have asked the Garda authorities for the information requested and I will write directly to the Deputy when it is available.

However, to be of assistance, I can provide the latest figures for each Garda Division provided to me in response to a previous question.

The table below, furnished to me by the Garda authorities, shows the number of outstanding bench warrants as of 31 December 2020 for each Garda Division.  

I am informed that these figures were collated based on PULSE data as of 4 February 2021.  As they constitute real time operational data, they are liable to change.
