As the Deputy will appreciate decisions in relation to the provision and allocation of Garda resources are a matter for the Garda Commissioner in light of his identified operational demands and the availability of resources.
I have requested the specific material from the Garda authorities and when it is to hand I will forward it on to the Deputy.
The following deferred reply was received under Standing Order 42A
I refer to Parliamentary Question No. 897 for answer on Tuesday, 24 July 2018 in which the Deputy requested the estimated cost of increasing the training budget for An Garda Síochána by 10%, 20% and 30%, respectively.
As the Deputy will recall, the information he requested could not be obtained in the time available, and I undertook to contact him again when the information was to hand. I apologise that this was not possible before now.
I have been informed by the Garda authorities that the table below outlines what a 10%, 20% and 30% increase in expenditure on training would cost, based on the actual Garda expenditure on training for 2018 (figures rounded).

The above calculation is based on expenditure of €3,420,327 on training in 2018 and includes Garda College training.
I hope this information is of assistance.
