663. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Justice the number of gardaí within the Kildare division who successfully completed the protestor removal course in 2021 and to date in 2022, in tabular form; and the duration of this course. [51859/22]
View answerAs the Deputy will be aware, the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the management and administration of An Garda Síochána, which includes Garda training. As Minister, I have no role in such matters.
I am however informed by the Garda authorities that no member from the Kildare Division completed a Protestor Removal Course in 2021 or to date in 2022.
I am further informed that the duration of the course is 5 days.
