I understand it is the decision of the Commissioner of An Garda Síochána that it is appropriate for the current arrangements to remain in place for the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Defence. As the Deputy will appreciate, it would not be appropriate to comment any further on security arrangements which are kept under ongoing review by An Garda Síochána.

I have requested the costs per annum of such services and the figures for the years in question from An Garda Síochána and will write to the Deputy upon receipt of them.
