Written answers

As the Deputy will be aware, the Garda Commissioner is responsible by law for the management and administration of Garda business, which includes all decisions about Garda equipment. As Minister I play no role in these independent functions.

I am assured that the Garda Commissioner keeps the allocation of resources under continued review to ensure their optimum use.

I am informed by the Garda authorities that as of 2 October 2023 there were 220 mountain bikes assigned to the DMR.

The table below sets out the location of these mountain bikes by District.
