Written answers

I propose to take Questions Nos. 336 to 338, inclusive, together.

The Deputy will be aware that the allocation and management of Garda resources, including the overtime budget, is the responsibility of the Garda Commissioner having due regard to his operational needs. As Minister, I have no role in the matter.

I have been provided with the details below which set out the nationwide expenditure relating to Operation Thor for 2017 by Division and Branches.
