Dáil Éireann Debate, Monday - 9 September 2024
1052. Deputy Peadar Tóibín asked the Minister for Justice the number of times gardaí have been called to incidents involving persons entering or seeking to enter the River Corrib in Galway city, in each of the past five years, and to date in 2024. [33816/24]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs 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 these matters, nor can I direct the Commissioner with regard to them.
However, to be of assistance I sought the information requested by the Deputy from An Garda Síochána and have been advised that the table below includes the results of a search of the PULSE database for all incidents of 'Person Misadventure' in the Garda district of Galway, which included the incident narrative 'Corrib' or 'river'. Please note that this information is operational and may be subject to change.
