417. To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality the amount An Garda Síochána spent on vehicle recovery services within the Dublin Metropolitan Region, DMR, north division in 2023 and to-date in 2024; when this contract to provide this service is due to expire; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

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 €761,150.10 was spent on vehicle recovery services within the DMR North Division in 2023. I am further advised that €115,597.25 was spent to date in 2024.
I am informed that the contract to provide this service is due to expire on 30 June 2024.
