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 Gardaí recorded as sustaining an occupational injury between 1 January 2018 and 9 September 2022.
