959. Deputy Paul Donnelly asked the Minister for Justice further to Parliamentary Question No. 373 of 7 February 2024, if she has received the necessary information from the Garda authorities to have this PQ answered. [12967/24]
View answerI refer to Parliamentary Question No. 373 of 7 February 2024 where the Deputy sought the amount spent by An Garda Síochána on hiring out an external jewellery valuation service in 2023 and to date in 2024.
As the Deputy will be aware, in accordance with the Garda Síochána Act 2005 (as amended), the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the management and administration of An Garda Síochána, including all operational policing matters. As Minister, I have no role in these matters, nor can I direct the Commissioner with regard to them.
The table below, provided to me by the Garda authorities, shows the amount spent on hiring external jewellery valuation services to carry out work on its behalf in 2023 and to-date in 2024.
