The provision and allocation of Garda resources, including transport, is a matter 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 Garda vehicles which will be deployed in accordance with An Garda Síochána's identified policing requirements across Garda Divisions and the availability of financial resources.
I have also been informed by the Garda authorities that a full and comprehensive policing service is being delivered to the area referred to by the Deputy. They have also confirmed that the relevant policing arrangements will be kept under on-going review to ensure that optimum use is made of Garda resources.
