553. Deputy Marian Harkin asked the Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration the number of applicants from the trainee Garda intake of 2024 still in the Garda vetting process; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [53276/26]

I have requested the information sought by the Deputy from the Garda authorities. Regrettably, this was not available in time and I will write to the Deputy once the information is to hand.
