The PSNI chief constable disclosed the cost during a Policing Board discussion, but no spending breakdown or time period was specified.
PSNI Chief Constable Jon Boutcher disclosed the figure while discussing the Drumcree row at a meeting of the Policing Board.
The policing operation related to the stand-off has cost £3 million, or £3,000,000, so far.
The period covered by the total was not specified in the available reports. They also provided no breakdown showing how the money was spent.
That leaves unanswered when the costs began accumulating and which parts of the policing operation are included in the figure.
