Written answers

I propose to take Questions Nos. 290 and 291 together.

As you will appreciate, in accordance with the Garda Síochána Act 2005 (as amended), the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the management and administration of An Garda Síochána. This includes responsibility for decisions in relation to the management of the Garda Vote. As Minister for Justice, I have no role in such matters.

The Garda authorities have advised me that the management and governance of expenditure with the Garda college is carried out by the Garda College Finance Office, on behalf of An Garda Síochána. 

I am further advised that the table below details the total amount of expenditure allocated to the Garda College cost centres in the financial system from 2016 to the end of October 2022.
