I have requested the information sought by the Deputy from the Garda authorities. Unfortunately, the information was not received in time. I will contact the Deputy directly once the information is to hand.

As the Deputy will be aware, under the Garda Síochána Act 2005 (as amended), the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the administration and management of An Garda Síochána, including the procurement of services required by An Garda Síochána to perform its function of keeping people safe. As Minister, I have no role in these independent functions.
However, to be of assistance, I sought the information requested by the Deputy from An Garda Síochána and have been informed that €769,822 was spent on vehicle recovery services within the Cavan-Monaghan Garda Division from January to the end of December 2023.
I am further informed the contract for recovery, towing and management services in Cavan/Monaghan Division commenced in April 2023 and is due to expire in April 2028.
