Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 25 October 2016
151. Deputy John Curran asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality the cost of Garda overtime in the Dublin metropolitan west region for the period 2011 to 2016; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [31957/16]
View answerAs the Deputy will appreciate, the allocation of resources within An Garda Síochána is a matter for the Garda Commissioner and I, as Minister, have no direct role in the matter.
I am advised by the Garda Authorities that the overtime cost for both civilians and Garda rank in the Dublin Metropolitan West Region for the period 2011 to 2016 is set out in the table. The Deputy will be aware that the figure for 2011 includes expenditure for the official Visits of Queen Elizabeth II and President Obama, while the figure for 2016 includes expenditure on Operation Thor, organised crime operations, the policing of various 1916 commemorative events and the visit of US Vice President Joe Biden.
