563. Deputy Jim O'Callaghan asked the Minister for Justice to provide the value of the Garda vote in Budgets 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025, in tabular form; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [42536/24]
View answerAs the Deputy will be aware, the Garda Commissioner is the accounting officer for An Garda Síochána, and is responsible for the Garda budget. The Government is committed to providing the Commissioner with the resources he needs, and Garda funding has increased by over €500m (up 27% since 2020), bringing the total for the 2025 Budget to €2.48 billion.
I can advise the Deputy that the table below sets out the gross budget allocation for An Garda Síochána for each year since 2015.
