The Deputy will appreciate that the management of the Garda Vote is the responsibility of the Garda Commissioner as the accounting officer for An Garda Síochána and, as Minister, I have no function in relation to the matter.
In this context, the Commissioner is fully accountable to the Public Accounts Committee and the Comptroller and Auditor General in relation the Garda Vote.
Unfortunately, in the time available, I am not in a position to provide the Deputy with the specific information sought. However, when this information has been compiled I will revert directly to the Deputy.
