2017 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána
Chapter 7 - Management of Overtime Expenditure in An Garda Síochána

Mr. Joseph Nugent:

I believe we now have two. There is the main Garda tax number and entity that is the Sportsfield Company has its own tax number. The main issue in the context of tax compliance related to the operation of the restaurant and associated facilities within the college and not by Sportsfield. The main Garda tax number applied in this regard. As stated, we are very close, I hope, to finalising the issue. I would be more than happy to provide a detailed report to the committee within weeks in which I will update it on what is happening in respect of the matter.
