The information requested by the Deputy is set out in the tables below.
| Table 1 — Gardaí in receipt of >20 hours overtime per roster period. | |
| 2008 — Roster Period | |
| Roster Date | Number of Members who received >20 hours overtime |
| 13/1/2008 | 4,715 |
| 10/2/2008 | 5,965 |
| 9/3/2008 | 5,797 |
| 6/4/2008 | 5,260 |
| 4/5/2008 | 5,101 |
| 1/6/2008 | 5,408 |
| 29/6/2008 | 5,545 |
| 27/7/2008 | 5,003 |
| 24/8/2008 | 3,519 |
| 21/9/2008 | 3,715 |
| 19/10/2008 | 3,667 |
| 16/11/2008 | 4,252 |
| 14/12/2008 | 4,447 |
| Note on Table 1 — Garda authorities advise me that overtime is claimed on a roster basis and consequently the information required is collated on this basis rather than a calendar monthly basis. The Garda roster period equates to 4 weeks. I am further advised that a breakdown of the above figures on the basis of rank and unit could not be provided without consuming an inordinate amount of Garda resources and time. |
