Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

There is a note in the Appropriation Account of An Garda Síochána which gives more detail than that given in the reply to the parliamentary question. I am not sure if the Deputy has seen that information, which disaggregates the total value of what was paid into compensation awarded, legal costs awarded and other costs awarded. It also gives five categories of payment. These details may go some way to addressing the Deputy's queries.
