As the Deputy will be aware, the Garda Commissioner is responsible under section 26 of the Garda Síochána Act 2005 (as amended) for the management and administration of Garda business. This includes all operational policing matters and the management of the Garda PULSE system. As Minister I have no role in these independent matters.

To be of assistance I have contacted the Garda authorities and have been provided with the table below, which lists the number of incidents of 'Behaviour Warning' or 'Behaviour Order' nationally.

I have been advised that, due to the low volume of incidents in the majority of Divisions, a breakdown by age group is not possible due to data protection, to prevent possible identification of individuals.

Information is from PULSE as of 12 December 2022 and is operational and subject to change.

Figures less than 10 are denoted by * for data protection reasons. These figures (those denoted by * above) are included in the national total for each year.
