View answerAs the Deputy will be aware, in accordance with the Garda Síochána Act 2005 (as amended), the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the management and administration of An Garda Síochána, including all operational policing matters. As Minister, I have no role in such matters.
However, to be of assistance, I sought the information requested by the Deputy from An Garda Síochána. I have been advised that, between 1 January 2024 and 5 June 2024, a total of 420 inspections of premises were conducted across Clare/Tipperary Division. I am further advised that fewer than 10 breaches were recorded during this time.
I am informed that the above information is based on a search of the PULSE database. Information is operational and subject to change.
