Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 20 March 2024
949. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Justice the amount that An Garda Síochána spent on hiring out external veterinary services in 2023 and to-date in 2024; and the amount paid to each provider in the years in question, in tabular form. [12791/24]
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, which includes the provision of health care for the dogs and horses in both the Garda Mounted Unit and the Garda Dog Unit. As Minister, I have no role in such matters.
I am advised by the Garda authorities that during 2023 a total of €154,470 was spent on hiring out external veterinary services, and a total of €40,305 has been spent in 2024 to date.
The table below is a breakdown of the amounts paid to each provider within each year.
