As the Deputy will be aware, the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the management and administration of Garda business under Section 26 of the Garda Síochána Act 2005 (as amended), which includes all operational policing matters. As Minister, I play no role in these independent functions.
I am advised by the Garda authorities that the table below sets out the amount of revenue from the release of vehicles seized by An Garda Síochána under relevant road traffic legislation for the years requested. It should be noted that information is operational and subject to change.
