Regarding the amounts the Garda collects for bank cash escorts, in 2010 it was €4.276 million, in 2011, €3.8 million and in 2012, €2.2 million. Crime has not gone away, so why did the banks only pay half last year what they paid two years ago? Does the Garda get paid by An Post for escorts, as there are many cash deliveries to post offices? Does An Post make a separate payment on a similar scale?
