As the Deputy will be aware, the Garda Commissioner is the Accounting Officer for the Garda Vote and is responsible for the effective and efficient use of the resources at his disposal.  In accordance with the Garda Síochána Act 2005, the Commissioner is also responsible for carrying on and managing and controlling generally the administration and business of An Garda Síochána.

I have asked the Commissioner for the specific information requested and when it is received I will write directly to the Deputy.
