Questions (156)

Brendan Griffin

Question:

156. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if victims of burglary who have cash stolen from their homes are entitled to recoup that monetary amount if it is subsequently partially or wholly recovered by the Garda; if in cases where the recovered cash is being held as evidence, an equivalent amount can be returned to the victim, so that the victim is not financially disadvantaged; if it is usual or acceptable to have a victim waiting for over two years for the return of stolen and subsequently recovered cash; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

The Deputy will appreciate that the procedures applicable in the situation to which he refers are an operational matter for An Garda Síochána. I have requested a report from the Garda authorities in relation to this matter and I will contact the Deputy directly when the report is to hand.
