The news comes following a spate of high-profile attacks in the city centre, which has led to increased scrutiny on the Justice minister and the Gardaí.
A Garda spokesperson said that the additional money will go towards"6,500 additional policing hours per month" in Dublin city centre.
20% of extra overtime budget is being allocated to the Public Order Unit to fund the patrols in the two Dublin central garda divisions.There will also be, according to Gardaí, a strong focus on"tackling street level drug dealing, anti-social behaviour, and seizure of alcohol" as well as"an enhanced visible Garda presence at strategic locations... such as main thoroughfares and the Liffey Boardwalk.
"The overall objective of our activity is to reassure the citizens, visitors and the business community that Dublin is a safe place in which to live, visit, and work. An enhanced visible policing presence is central to this objective,” said Assistant Commissioner Angela Willis.
