If there is a legislative reason it cannot be done, that is our fault rather than the Garda's. I wish only to clarify the issue.
People often find the following matter curious. The Garda received an income of €83,000, effectively as commission for collecting insurance premiums on behalf of insurance companies. Is that car insurance or something else? Why is the Garda collecting insurance premiums for insurance companies? It appears in the accounts every year but I just do not understand why the Garda collects money for insurance companies. What was the total sum collected, and what was the commission for An Garda Síochána?
