89 Deputy Pádraic McCormack asked the Minister for Justice and Law Reform the level and cost of policing in north Mayo where a company (details supplied) wish to build a pipeline; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [44234/10]

I am informed by the Garda Authorities that the overall costs of the policing operation for the Corrib Gas project, from the commencement of the operation in August 2005 to end-October 2010 is approximately €13,987 million. A detailed breakdown of the figures is set out in the table below. The figures do not include the basic salaries of the Gardaí who performed the duty at the Corrib Gas project as these could only be obtained by the disproportionate expenditure of Garda time and resources relative to the information sought.
