Seán Fleming: With regard to procurement, I see in Vote 20, on page 3, reference is made in the report to 50 contracts, totalling €5.3 million, that were not procured in line with government procedures. The Comptroller and Auditor General referred to it. Some 11 of them were extensions of existing contracts and one can understand rolling on contracts. Some 21 of them, amounting to €2.1...

Seán Fleming: Where there is a car accident, the Garda Síochána must be able to phone someone and get the truck out there within 20 minutes. I understand that. Were there no approved rates of €20, €40 or €100 an hour in place for the contractors? Was it up to the local superintendent to ask the service provider to send in the bill?

Seán Fleming: The next matter concerns receipts rather than expenditure and is covered on pages 16 and 17 of the Vote. The first concerns the receipts from banks in respect of cash escorts. Some €4.3 million was expected in 2012 but only €2.9 million was received, a decrease of €1 million on the previous year. Is less cash being carried? Why is there such a reduction? What is the...

Seán Fleming: I will provide some colloquial knowledge. I live on the old N7 and every Thursday morning at 9.45 a.m an aeroplane does a circle over my house because it is following the route of the vans coming from Sandyford to Limerick. It has been like clockwork for the past 28 years. It may not be there this year but for the past 25 of the past 28 years there has been support. I can set my clock by...

Seán Fleming: Receipts from firearms have gone down again. That leads me on to the question of how many licensed firearms there are. How many unlicensed firearms does Ms O'Sullivan believe there are? There is a lot of gun crime and I presume licensed firearms are not involved in all of these cases. From the number of firearms the Garda picks up as a result of crimes, what percentage have been licensed...

Seán Fleming: The Garda receives a small amount of income each year from a percentage charged to insurance companies for the collection of insurance premiums. I think I asked about this previously. Is that for uninsured drivers? How many uninsured cars does Ms O'Sullivan believe there are? From the Garda's random checks, what is the percentage of uninsured cars? Is the Garda a collection agent for...
