232. To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality further to Parliamentary Question No. 1607 of 29 April 2025, if he will set out the basis and purpose for the review of the immigration data management; and the rationale for engaging a retired Garda and not utilising a current member of An Garda Síochána and or an official in his Department.

The review referred to in my response to the Deputy's previous question is a technical administrative one concerning data management in the Immigration area of my Department and requires some experience and expertise in the area.

While consideration was given to utilising serving officials or members of An Garda Síochána, this would have diverted from other important priorities. The work is being overseen by serving officials and members of An Garda Síochána.
