I can inform the Deputy that, to date, I have held six meetings with the Garda Commissioner since taking office. All 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:

  • 24 January 2025;
  • 7 February 2025;
  • 6 March 2025;
  • 28 April 2025;
  • 5 June 2025;
  • 9 June 2025.
In addition to these formal meetings, I have also met the Commissioner on several occasions in the normal course of performing our respective roles. I have visited a number of Garda stations and attended with the Commissioner at two trainee attestation ceremonies in the Garda Training College in Templemore. We also both attended the annual Cross-Border Conference on Serious and Organised Crime in Belfast in March.
