The Garda Commissioner is responsible for the management and administration of Garda business under section 26 of the Garda Síochána Act 2005, which includes the recruitment and training of Garda members and staff. As Minister, I have no role such matters.

To be of assistance, I have sought the information requested by the Deputy from An Garda Síochána, however it has not been made available to me on time.

I will write to the Deputy directly once this information is to hand.
