As the Deputy is aware, the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the management and administration of Garda business under Section 26 of the Garda Síochána Act 2005 (as amended). This includes the recording of all Garda human resources data and the organisation's obligations under the relevant data protection legislation. As Minister, I have no role in this matter.

To be of assistance to the Deputy I have contacted the Garda authorities in relation to resignations of Garda members assigned to the Cavan-Monaghan division. I have been advised that, as the number of resignations within An Garda Síochána are so low, data can only be provided at a Regional level to prevent any possible data protection concerns due to the identification of individuals. The information requested by the Deputy is therefore, regrettably, not available.

I propose to take Questions Nos. 287 and 288 together.

The information requested by the Deputy is being collated and I will contact the Deputy directly once the information is available.
