Lord Monson

asked Her Majesty's Government:

(a) what percentage of the Garda Siochana is Protestant; and (b) what percentage of the Royal Ulster Constabulary is Roman Catholic. [HL609]

Baroness Farrington of Ribbleton

Information on the religious affiliation of members of the Garda Siochana is a matter for the Government of the Republic of Ireland. At 31 December 1999, the percentage of Roman Catholics in the RUC Regular force was 8.39 per cent.
