Clare Daly: What portion was allocated for the automatic number plate recognition system? How many cars have it? Where are with the roll-out? Has it been completed?

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...

Clare Daly: I am not suggesting it does. Last year the Minister told us that €7 million had been allocated to cover third party claims against An Garda Síochána. I asked him what the figure for this year was and he said it was €16 million. If he is now saying the figure includes compensation for personal injuries and that he was not comparing like with like, that error was not...

Clare Daly: I will raise a couple of points. The Joint Committee on Justice and Equality has done considerable work on penal reform and signed off on a report on the issue earlier this morning. Attention must be paid to the way in which the accounts are laid out. It is ludicrous to have the Prison Service treated in isolation, with the Probation Service and community service under a separate heading....

Clare Daly: Is it proposed to establish such a facility as an alternative to a custodial sentence or would it be available to women after they had served a custodial sentence?

Clare Daly: I do not wish to labour the point but I will correct the record in case my comments are misconstrued. While I support alternatives to incarceration, a step-down facility is not suitable and in this case it appears to apply to women only. That does not mean I am not in favour of supporting people after their sentence is served. Active engagement is required to ensure former prisoners have a...

Clare Daly: I have two quick questions, one of which may not be relevant. Have moneys been allocated for the judicial council under this head given the urgent need for such a council? On technology, is the digital audio recording, DAR, system in place in every court or only the main courts? Are plans in place to make this information more accessible and has funding been provided for this purpose?...

Clare Daly: I will not repeat the points about GSOC but €300,000 is not enough, that is clear. The Policing Authority receives €600,000, which is double that of GSOC. I would go so far as to say that the whole of the extra €600,000 allocated to the Policing Authority should instead be given to GSOC to allow it to do the job that it wants to. The points have been made about that...

Clare Daly: Is the figure linked with numbers? In the direct provision centres is the contract negotiated, regardless of numbers or is it numbers dependent?

Clare Daly: Therefore, private operators are paid based on the numbers in direct provision centres. It is not a contract agreed to for a uniform sum to run a centre. They are paid per person.

Clare Daly: Perhaps it is the lateness of the hour, but I want to ensure I understand what has been said. In direct provision centres a contract is entered into for an amount of money based on a rough figure.
