As the Deputy will be aware, under Section 30 of the Garda Síochána Act 2005 (as amended), the Garda Commissioner may provide and charge for police services, including for events on private property or in areas open to the public.
Examples of the types of events for which police services may be provided under this section include sports fixtures, concerts, festivals and exhibitions, meetings and conferences, the making of films and television programme and appearances of person/s likely to attract large numbers of persons, or escort for certain persons or property while in transit.
To be of assistance I sought the information requested by the Deputy from An Garda Síochána and have been advised that the current sum on record as owed to An Garda Síochána relating to such services for 2022 is just over €1.4 million.
I am also advised that invoices and reminders are issued on a regular basis for all outstanding sums.
