Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 25 October 2016
133. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality the annual budgets allocated to each Garda division nationally for the years 2014, 2015 and to date in 2016 in tabular form; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [31715/16]
View answerAs the Deputy will appreciate, the Garda Commissioner is the accounting officer for an Garda Síochána with responsibility for the allocation of Garda resources, and I, as Minister, have no direct role in these matters.
I am advised that the gross allocation to the Garda Vote over the period specified by the Deputy is set out in the table following and is managed centrally within An Garda Síochána.
