The Garda Commissioner is the Accounting Officer for the Garda Vote and in that context I am informed by the Garda authorities that the Overtime Budget Allocations, including supplementary estimate provisions, for An Garda Síochána in 2013 and 2014 and the actual amounts incurred in these years are as follows:

The overtime expenditure incurred in 2013 and, in part in 2014, related to the provision of policing services for the EU Presidency. The provision of sufficient policing services for the Belmullet District and at Shannon airport incurred further overtime expenditure in 2014.
