Question
26. Deputy Jonathan O'Brien asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality the cost of the Garda information services centre each year since its establishment; and the number of Garda personnel and the number of civilian personnel allocated to it. [10797/17]
Answer
Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality (Deputy Frances Fitzgerald): The Deputy will appreciate, it is the Garda Commissioner who is responsible for the distribution of resources, including personnel, among the various Garda Divisions and Units and I, as Minister, have no direct role in the matter.
I have asked the Garda Commissioner for the other information requested by the Deputy and will revert to him when it is to hand.
