I have referred the matter to the Garda authorities and will contact the Deputy directly when a response is to hand.

The following deferred reply was received under Standing Order 51
I refer to Parliamentary Question No. 285 for answer on 9 December, 2021 regarding the cost to An Garda Síochána of security for Shannon airport. You will recall that the information could not be obtained in the time available and I undertook to consult with An Garda Síochána and contact you again when the information was available.
I am informed by the Garda authorities the below table outlines the cost incurred by An Garda Síochána for policing at Shannon Airport in the years 2010 to 2020:

* Please be advised that the figures include all costs associated with Airport Duty for those years, not just US Military Protection. It is not possible to separately cost US Military Protection specific costs only. I hope this information is of assistance.
