Written answers

Minister for Justice

As the Deputy will be aware, under the Garda Síochána Act 2005 (as amended), the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the administration and management of An Garda Síochána. As Minister, I have no role in such matters.

I am informed by the Garda authorities that they are unable to disclose details in respect of the Air Support Unit, due to the impact on operational effectiveness and security. Therefore I am unable to provide the information sought by the Deputy.
