Taxpayers may be subsidising the policing of lucrative private events, according to a warning from the Dáil’s Public Accounts Committee (PAC). The committee highlighted concerns that An Garda Síochána’s system for charging private commercial event organisers—such as festivals and concerts—a flat rate of €45 per garda per hour lacks transparency and rigour, potentially leading to unnecessary public‑funded expenses for non‑public duties. The forthcoming PAC report urges stricter oversight to protect taxpayers’ money.
