Questions (518)
Written answers
I have contacted An Garda Síochána for the information requested by the Deputy, regretfully this information was not available in time. I will write to the Deputy once the information is to hand.
The following deferred reply was received under Standing Order 51
I refer to Parliamentary Question No. 518 of 13 December 2022 where you sought:
“The number of violent disorder offences reported to Gardaí within the K district to date in 2022.”
As you will be aware, under the Garda Síochána Act 2005 (as amended), the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the administration and management of An Garda Síochána, including operational policing matters. As Minister, I have no direct role.
As you will recall, Minister Humphreys sought the information you requested from the Garda authorities and undertook to contact you again once the information was to hand.
I am informed by the Garda authorities that at 18 December 2022 there were 13 incidents of type “Affray/Riot/Violent Disorder” reported by Blanchardstown District in 2022.
I trust this information will be of assistance.
