Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 10 October 2012
181. Deputy Robert Troy asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if he will identify the money his Department has spent on refurbishing patrol cars in the past 18 months and the life span that was remaining on each patrol car that was refurbished. [43681/12]
View answerThe Garda Commissioner is the Accounting Officer for the Garda Vote. In that context I am advised by the Garda authorities that expenditure on the maintenance of the Garda fleet over the last 18 months amounted to approximately €14 million. I am further advised that the information requested in relation to the remaining life span of each vehicle which underwent maintenance work is not readily available and that the extraction of such data would require the use of a disproportionate amount of Garda resources which are required for other purposes.
