Clare Daly: If the moneys were made available last year for 500 and the moneys provided for this year are the same apart from the Minister's transfer and are not a reduction, it is the same 500 who were not recruited last year whom we are now providing for this year?

Clare Daly: Where is the extra money coming from then because the Estimate is the same? With the Minister's qualification of the transfer of moneys, the Estimate is not a reduction now. It is the same as the outturn for last year, as what was actually spent last year.

Clare Daly: That is exactly my point. It is the same 500 whom we are providing for and there is no growth. The impression is being given that we are recruiting all these civilians whereas we know for a fact that is not being done. The moneys being set aside is the same money not spent on civilianisation.

Clare Daly: I fully accept that. Presumably, for last year's figures we did not show the full cost for them either. It is carried over, year from year. The comparison is the same.

Clare Daly: Are moneys being provided for the 719 extra civilians so? The Minister should put the word out to all and sundry that there will be loads of jobs going in the Garda for civilians now.

Clare Daly: I will not labour the point, but the Minister will be aware that the Policing Authority's December report expressed the view that targets were well off and it had huge concern about that. We will park that.

Clare Daly: The ICT issue is complex and important. It is important in the context of the work that this committee is undertaking, but also much of the discussion in the public domain about the accuracy of information, the importance of data collection and the outdated nature of PULSE and the other IT systems. The way in which the accounts are dealt with it is difficult to see where everything lies in...

Clare Daly: What I actually asked was how much had been expended to date because some of the moneys had been announced previously. How much of the allocation of €330 million for ICT between 2016 and 2021 has been expended to date?

Clare Daly: It would be good if the Minister could give us the figure because it is very hard to keep track of it. He told us that the allocation for ICT would cover automatic number plate recognition technology in all Garda vehicles. We know that in 2015 the programme had to be suspended because of the errors in the database and because hundreds of thousands of drivers had been wrongly identified as...

Clare Daly: I am not asking about the new vehicles. I know that they will come with this technology. My question is about the level of expenditure on the automatic number plate recognition system as a proportion of the allocation for ICT. If the Minister needs to get the figure, we can be given it later.

Clare Daly: Could we get the figure on another day? Regarding compensation and maladministration, I know that the Minister told us last year that €7 million had been allocated to cover third party claims against An Garda Síochána. What is the figure for this year? Does it reflect the throughput of cases surrounding the fixed charge notice affair that need to be rectified? The...

Clare Daly: I ask for that information because the figure represents more than a doubling of the compensation and maladministration fee against An Garda Síochána. It is a whopping amount of money in the context of what we are talking about. I would really like to know how much of it relates to the fixed charge notice and summonses scandal. If we had a breakdown of the other claims made, it...
