I can inform the Deputy that, to date, I have met with the following Chief Superintendents within the Dublin Metropolitan Region (DMR) since taking office:

On 14 February 2025, during a visit to Store Street Garda Station, I met with the Chief Superintendent of DMR North Central.

On 20 February 2025, during a visit to Dublin Castle, I met with the Assistant Commissioner of the Dublin Metropolitan Region along with all Chief Superintendents in the DMR, with the exception of the Chief Superintendent of the DMR North Division who was represented at the meeting by a Superintendent.

However, on 7 April 2025, during a visit to Ballymun Garda Station, I met with the Chief Superintendent of DMR North Division.

In addition, I have held four formal meetings with the Garda Commissioner since taking office. Each of these meetings were held in my Department's offices at 51 St. Stephen's Green and were attended by senior officials from my Department as well as from An Garda Síochána. The relevant dates are as follows:
