Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 25 June 2024
276. Deputy Jim O'Callaghan asked the Minister for Justice the number of arrests from Raheny Garda station within the DMR in 2023 and to date in 2024, in tabular form; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [26776/24]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs you will be aware, the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the management and administration of An Garda Síochána under Section 26 of the Garda Síochána Act 2005 (as amended), which includes all operational policing matters. As Minister, I play no role in these independent functions.
To be of assistance to the Deputy I have made enquiries on his behalf. I am advised by the Garda authorities that a search of the PULSE database was conducted on 18 June 2024 for arrests that occurred between 1 January 2023 to 17 June 2024 in which the station of custody was recorded as Raheny.
Based on the numbers returned, the table below shows the number of arrests by year.
