Cash being held in garda stations as crime evidence has disappeared fourteen times over a three-year period, the Labour justice spokesman Sean Sherlock has discovered. Gardaí have not released details on where the money has gone missing, or how much was involved, saying they cannot do so due to ongoing investigations. Money seized by gardai or recovered after robberies must be held as evidence in secure units in garda stations and cannot be lodged to a bank. “Due to ongoing investigations the Garda authorities have advised that they are not in a position to identify individual Garda stations,” he added.
