Expenditure of €154,736 was incurred in 2007 in respect of public information campaigns for recruitment to the Garda Reserve. I am awaiting details of the relevant figure for 2008 and I will communicate with the Deputy in this matter. At this stage it is not possible to provide an estimate for the projected expenditure for 2009.

Administrative costs arising in connection with the Garda Reserve are met from the general provisions of the Garda Vote and separate figures for this expenditure are not available.
