View answerAs 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, including all human resource matters. As Minister, I have no role in these independent functions.
To be of assistance I sought the information requested by the Deputy from An Garda Síochána. I am informed there were 49 Garda members from the Mayo/Roscommon/Longford Division who were recorded as absent due to sick leave on 1 July 2024, the latest date for which figures are available. These figures are operational and may be subject to change.
