Appropriation Accounts 2022
Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána

Mr. Drew Harris:

In the headquarters, that unit is within the national security side of investigations.

We do not normally issue figures for the number of individuals who are engaged in that work. We have recently accepted a policy change around our open source intelligence gathering, but even that brings with it a national security element. Beyond that, there are also intelligence units, certainly in the Dublin metropolitan region, DMR, around social media and open source intelligence.
