Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 10 July 2012
353 Deputy Charlie McConalogue asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the number of Garda cars by district within the Donegal division; the change in number of Garda cars by district within the Donegal division over the past five years; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [33165/12]
View answerThe provision and allocation of Garda vehicles is a matter for the Garda Commissioner in the context of his identified policing priorities. At Divisional level responsibility for the efficient deployment of Garda vehicles is assigned to the Divisional Officer, who may allocate vehicles between Districts on the basis of operational requirements.
I am informed by the Garda authorities that the number of Garda vehicles assigned to the Districts in the Donegal Garda Division for the period referred to by the Deputy is as set out in the table below:
