Minister for Justice and Equality

The Deputy will be aware that the Garda Commissioner is the Accounting Officer for the Garda Vote and is responsible for setting the level of fees applicable in relation to certain services. As Minister, I have no direct role in the matter.

I have requested a report from the Garda authorities in relation to the Deputy's question and I will provide the information requested when that report is to hand.
