As Tánaiste and Minister for Defence, I have no role in the management or disciplinary process for members of An Garda Síochána. This would be a matter for the Garda Commissioner. I am therefore unable to comment on any matters pertaining to members of An Garda Síochána who may have served as Irish/UN peacekeepers abroad and were returned home over such allegations.
