Seán Fleming: That is good from the point of view of the force. Could Mr. Culhane list the types of events for which the Garda Síochána would be paid for policing the event? Does it include sporting fixtures, such as the all-Ireland and Munster finals of the GAA, the Tour de France and other sporting fixtures?

Seán Fleming: Is there an additional charge to cover anti-social behaviour that may result from the extra events being on? Perhaps some concerts would require higher policing levels depending on the type of music being played, for example, the tragic events that arose when a Swedish group played in the Phoenix Park? Does the Garda Síochána conduct a risk assessment? Does it have a different...

Seán Fleming: I am from Laois and a couple of months after the Electric Picnic, the local newspapers are full of stories about drugs. In addition to the uniformed policing, does the Garda Síochána always have plain clothes staff searching for drugs? Does the Garda charge for plain clothes gardaí or is that a private matter the Garda does without alerting the event organisers?

Seán Fleming: In the instances, where there has been a tragedy, and I mentioned what happened in the Phoenix Park, what kind of reassessment does the Garda conduct after such an event? People do not suggest it is the fault of the Garda when things go wrong, but what steps are taken to learn from the event and improve on the procedures?

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...
