Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 21 February 2013
182. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the total cost of the cleaning service at a Garda station (details supplied) in County Kerry since 2002; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9369/13]
View answerThe arrangements made for the provision of services at Garda stations is a matter for the Garda Commissioner. In addition, the Commissioner is the Accounting Officer for the Garda Vote.
I am informed by the Garda authorities that Garda operating cost statements are maintained at District Headquarters level rather than at individual station level. Consequently, the information sought by the Deputy is not readily available and the Garda authorities have advised that the extraction of the relevant data would require a disproportionate amount of Garda resources.
