263. Deputy Martin Browne asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform if he will raise the issue of access to the swimming pool in the Garda College with the Garda Commissioner given the lack of engagement from the Garda College in Templemore with the local community on same. [61725/22]

Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform

The decisions relating to accessing the facilities at the Garda College are a matter for the Garda authorities at the College to determine. Thereafter, if it is decided to grant a licence to a particular applicant, the College forwards the recommendation to the OPW to grant a licence.

My officials have already made contact with the relevant officials in An Garda Síochána in relation to this matter.
