Helen McEntee (Meath East, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

Just two seconds. We are halving the cost of special exemption orders, which means that for one night, €410 will now become €205.

The Data Protection Commission budget is now at €26 million, which means it will have gone up sevenfold since it was established. The Policing Authority has been allocated €4.1 million. This includes €200,000 for preparatory work that is needed for the much-anticipated policing security and community safety Bill.

I want to voice my thanks to the Minister for Finance, Deputy Donohoe and the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, Deputy Michael McGrath for their support and for making sure that we have stronger, safer communities through this year's budget.
