The Department of Justice is projecting savings of €682 million next year, largely due to changes in accommodation for Ukrainian refugees and international protection applicants.
Justice Minister Jim O’Callaghan says the savings reflect reforms introduced by the Government, while Budget 2027 also provides for increased Garda recruitment and measures to tackle domestic, sexual and gender-based violence.
