The Garda transport section was reviewed as part of the major review of the Garda organisation structures under the strategic management initiative which looked in detail at a range of areas within the organisation. The Garda SMI implementation steering group's final report, which I have laid before the House and which is available on my Department's website, makes recommendations including the outsourcing of the Garda vehicle maintenance activity to a national service provider or consortium. Arising from the recommendations, arrangements are being made to proceed with the outsourcing project.
