Over €7.1 million in costs were incurred by An Garda Síochána in policing the Europa League final at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin in May – but without any financial contribution being made by UEFA.

The Minister for Justice, Helen McEntee, has confirmed that the governing body of European soccer will not be providing any funding for the security costs for the major sporting event which is UEFA’s second largest club competition.

In response to a parliamentary question from Fianna Fáil TD, Jim O’Callaghan, the minister said the total cost to date from policing the Europa League final is €7.12 million.

The match took place in the Aviva on May 22nd with Italian side Atalanta beating the German Bundesliga champions, Bayer Leverkusen, 3-0 with a hat-trick by Ademola Lookman.
