"The Public Accounts Committee stated that the €45 flat-rate charge per garda per hour for large commercial events 'lacks transparency and rigour' to protect taxpayers' money."
"Concerns were raised about the system and fees that An Garda Síochána uses to charge private commercial event operators for policing at festivals, concerts, and other large events."
The Public Accounts Committee has expressed concerns regarding the fee system used by An Garda Síochána for policing private commercial events. The committee criticized the €45 flat-rate charge per garda per hour for large events, stating that it lacks transparency and rigor. This raises issues about the protection of taxpayers' money in the context of policing costs for festivals, concerts, and other significant gatherings.
