Question 264: To ask the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the amount of overtime hours worked by gardaí in 2008 at stations (details supplied) in County Dublin; and the policy for paying Garda overtime at these two stations in 2009. [8985/09]

I am informed by the Garda Commissioner that local Garda management is responsible for the allocation and monitoring of overtime within their respective areas. For security and operational reasons, it is Garda policy not to disclose the details of overtime worked in any particular Garda Station.
As with any expenditure within An Garda Síochána, strict financial controls are in place to manage such expenditure. A series of measures are in place to ensure that overtime is only expended when absolutely necessary, and to meet the policing needs of the respective District.
