As the Deputy will be aware, under the Garda Síochána Act 2005 (as amended), the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the administration and management of An Garda Síochána, including operational policing matters. As Minister, I have no direct role.

The table below, provided to me by the Garda authorities, outlines the number of bench warrants outstanding in the Meath Garda Division as of 6 September 2022, and the number that are outstanding for a period in excess of two years.

I am advised that the above figures were collated based on data from PULSE as of 1:30am on 8 September 2022. The Deputy will appreciate that these figures are operational and may be liable to change.
