Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality
Garda Reform and Related Issues: Discussion
Mr. Drew Harris:
We will obviously be there in connection with different cases. If there is a particular threat, we will obviously be there. That is clear. However, it would free up a considerable portion of our overtime budget to do other police work. We are living within our budget, but a considerable portion of it is spent in performing other, non-core policing roles. I can give the Senator a full written response because this is an important element, but it is also a matter for our partners.
