Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 3 February 2010
264 Deputy Paul Kehoe asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform when a garda car will be made available to a Garda station (details supplied) on a full-time basis; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5504/10]
View answerThe detailed allocation of Garda resources, including transport, is a matter for the Garda Commissioner to decide in accordance with his identified operational requirements and priorities. Such allocations are continually monitored and reviewed by senior Garda management along with overall policing arrangements and operational strategy. This ensures that optimum use is made of Garda resources, and that the best possible service is provided to the public.
I regret that the specific information requested in relation to the Garda station referred to by the Deputy is not readily to hand. I will write to the Deputy as soon as it is available.
