Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 9 June 2011
169 Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if he plans to provide additional Garda mountain bikes; if so the number of additional bikes that will be purchased; if the contract has been signed to supply the bikes; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [14851/11]
View answerThe detailed allocation of Garda resources, including mountain bikes, is a matter for the Garda Commissioner in the context of his identified operational requirements and priorities.
I am advised by the Garda authorities that they are satisfied that the current mountain bike stock is sufficient and that optimum use is being made of the Garda Mountain Bike Unit. The situation will be kept under ongoing review.
