Answer

Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality (Deputy Frances Fitzgerald): The Deputy will appreciate that the Garda Commissioner, as accounting officer for An Garda Síochána, has responsibility for the allocation of Garda finances and resources, and I, as Minister, have no direct role in these matters.
