Committee on Budgetary Oversight
Engagement on Overall Fiscal Position: Discussion
2:00 pm
Mr. Robert Watt:
I will go through the different issues. The €50 million for the Garda Síochána was addressed in the Revised Estimates. There was an increased allocation to the Department of Justice and Equality to reflect that. The Department also had to make savings within its allocation. The issue of the Garda pay was addressed in advance of the Revised Estimates being published in December, so that has been accounted for.
