An Garda Síochána is covered by the Supplementary Estimates. Security is provided for the Minister by the force and he has stated other people who are provided should pay for the security provided out of their own pockets.
Should the Minister pay for the security on his residence out of his own pocket? His predecessor, Dermot Ahern, did not have a member of An Garda Síochána detailed to his house and neither did the previous Minister, John O'Donoghue. Could the Minister comment on the matter?
