I can inform the Deputy that all monies recovered by the Criminal Assets Bureau under its statutory remit are returned to the Exchequer.
Such monies are not earmarked for any specific expenditure programme. The monies are paid into the Government's Central Fund, from which the Government draws for expenditure on all necessary public services and investment.
As the Bureau operates with a national remit, no regional breakdown of funds seized is available.
Details of the total monies returned to the Exchequer for the years 1996 to 2013 inclusive is being collated and will be provided directly to the Deputy.
Further information concerning the activities of the Bureau are published in the Annual Reports of the Bureau which are made available on the websites of the Department of Justice and Equality (www.justice.ie) and An Garda Síochána (www.garda.ie).
