The Garda Commissioner is the Accounting Officer for the Garda Vote. In that context I have been informed by the Garda authorities that the amounts of money realised by An Garda Síochána through the sale of forfeited/unclaimed property by the public auction from 2009 to 4 April 2012 are detailed in the table below.

YearAmount of Money Raised from Auctions
2009€128,730
2010€84,802
2011€82,607
2012 (04/04/2012)€650

I also understand from the Garda authorities that a separate estimate is not available in respect of the amount of money that might be provided to the Garda Vote arising from the sale of forfeited/unclaimed property in 2012.
