I am advised by the Garda authorities that Garda vehicles are not exclusively designated to any particular duty and are available to be deployed in a variety of roles in response to operational requirements. The Deputy will appreciate, therefore, that it is not practicable to provide a breakdown for the period concerned between Traffic Corps and other fleet vehicles. In that context, I am advised by the Garda authorities that the strength of the Garda fleet for the years 2005 to date is as outlined in the following table:
