Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 18 April 2012
1025 Deputy Kevin Humphreys asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the total amount of money accounted for through the sale of seized and unclaimed property in the appropriations-in-aid part of An Garda Síochána's Estimates from 2009 to 2011; the final outturn figure from this for each of those years; the estimated amount expected to be raised in 2012 in the Revised Estimates; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [19067/12]
View answerThe Garda Commissioner is the Accounting Officer for the Garda Vote. In that context I have been informed by the Garda authorities that the amounts of money realised by An Garda Síochána through the sale of forfeited/unclaimed property by the public auction from 2009 to 4 April 2012 are detailed in the table below:
|
Year |
Amount of Money Raised from Auctions |
|
2009 |
€128,730 |
|
2010 |
€84,802 |
|
2011 |
€82,607 |
|
2012 (04/04/2012) |
€650 |
I also understand from the Garda authorities that a separate estimate is not available in respect of the amount of money that might be provided to the Garda Vote arising from the sale of forfeited/unclaimed property in 2012.
