574. Deputy Paul Donnelly asked the Minister for Justice the number of times that An Garda Síochána has hired external jewellery valuers to carry out works on behalf of the force in 2021, 2022 and to date in 2023, in tabular form; and the amount paid for such works. [14994/23]
View answerAs the Deputy will be aware, under the Garda Síochána Act 2005 (as amended), the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the administration and management of An Garda Síochána, including any decisions in relation to the allocation and control of Garda resources. As Minister, I have no role in such matters.
I am informed that the table below sets out the number of times An Garda Síochána has hired external jewellery valuers in 2021, 2022 and to date in 2023, in tabular form; and the amount paid for such works.
