2088. Deputy Alan Kelly asked the Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration when he last met the Chief Superintendent of the Kerry division; and the topics discussed. [25520/26]

I can inform the Deputy that on 14 April 2025 I visited Castleisland and Tralee Garda Stations in the Kerry Division.

As the Chief Superintendent was unavailable, I met the Assistant Commissioner for the Southern Region and other members of Divisional management.

Local policing matters were discussed at this meeting.

It is my practice to meet with Garda senior managers, Gardaí and Garda staff to better understand the frontline policing challenges they face locally, to make sure the Government can provide the most appropriate and effective support. These meetings provide an opportunity to discuss each Garda Division's Policing Plan, how community policing is delivered in each Division, and how local Gardaí can work with Local Community Safety Partnerships.
