View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 729 to 731, inclusive, together.
As the Deputy will be aware, the Garda Commissioner is operationally responsible for the management and administration of An Garda Síochána. This includes all operational and investigative policing matters. As Minister, I have no role in these matters and cannot seek to direct the Commissioner in relation to them.
I am informed by the Garda authorities that it is not possible to provide the information in the format requested by the Deputy.
I am further advised that searches are part of the investigative process, and not all cases involving searches will have progressed to Court.
