‹ Order of Business Garda roster responsibility
Summary
The Leader says Garda rostering is an operational matter for the Garda Commissioner, while Senator Ó Clochartaigh argues that ministerial policy responsibility is involved.
That is an option for the House. I am only outlining the options available to Members.
The rostering system in An Garda Síochána is an operational matter for the Garda Commissioner. I am sure the Senator's points will be relayed by the superintendent involved and any other superintendent throughout the country who has problems with the system.
Comment on this
It is a policy issue for the Minister surely.
