Shatter: €20m security bill for Queen and Obama visits 'regrettable'
The Justice and Defence Minister Alan Shatter has today said that it is regrettable that more than €20m had to be spent on an unprecedented security operation for the visits of Britain's Queen Elizabeth and US President Barack Obama.
Minister Shatter says the final bill for the Garda Operation will be over 20 million - when finalised at the end of the month.
