Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 11 January 2012
657 Deputy Timmy Dooley asked the Minister for Justice and Equality when he intends to provide the necessary resources to the Garda in Clare to replace Garda vehicles which have reached their expiry kilometres of 300,000. [1519/12]
View answerDecisions in relation to the provision and deployment of Garda transport are matters for the Garda Commissioner.
I am advised by the Garda authorities that provision has been made in the Garda Vote for 2012 to acquire new vehicles for An Garda Síochána and in that general context a Request for Tender is currently being developed in conjunction with the National Procurement Service. This is a matter which will be pursued in the light of An Garda Síochána's operational priorities and the availability of financial resources.
