As the Deputy will be aware, the European People's Party Election Congress took place in Dublin on the 6th and 7th of March this year. In the circumstances the event fell within the Garda roster period which will end on the 30th of March.

I am advised by the Garda authorities that, given the roster situation, the bulk of the claims by Garda personnel arising in connection with the event has yet to be submitted for payment and, accordingly, they are not in a position to furnish the details requested by the Deputy.
