The Garda Commissioner is the Accounting Officer for the Garda Vote. In that context, I am informed by the Garda authorities that their financial records do not distinguish between cleaning services provided in respect of premises occupied by civilian staff and other premises utilised by the Force. In the circumstances, the information sought by the Deputy is not readily available and the Garda authorities have advised that the extraction of the relevant data would require a disproportionate amount of Garda resources.
