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

However, to be of assistance I sought the information requested by the Deputy from An Garda Síochána and have been advised that during 2023 there were no reported incidents of ‘Test Purchasing of Intoxicating Liquor’ within the DMR R district.

I am informed that the above information is based on a search of the PULSE database. Information is operational and subject to change.
