Question 222: To ask the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the monthly costs, including a detailed explanation of the way the figures are calculated, for policing the Corrib gas project in Balanaboy, County Mayo from September 2006 to date in 2010. [2275/10]

I am informed by the Garda Authorities that the overall costs of the policing operation to date for the Corrib Gas project, from the commencement of the operation in August 2005 to end-December 2009 is approximately €13.843 million. A detailed breakdown of the figures is set out in the table.
These figures do not include the basic salaries of the members who performed the duty at the Corrib Gas project. These costs and the breakdown of costs by month are not readily available and could only be obtained by the disproportionate expenditure of Garda time and resources relative to the information sought.
