A signed Memorandum of Understanding is in place between the Department of Justice and Equality and An Garda Síochána and the Irish Banking Federation for the provision of cash in transit escorts by An Garda Síochána. I am informed by the Garda Authorities that for reasons of security An Garda Síochána does not disclose the nature of the measures in place in this regard. The information sought by the Deputy in respect of amounts paid by banks is as set out in the following table.
