Decisions in relation to the provision and deployment of Garda transport are matters for the Garda Commissioner.
In that context, I have been informed by the Garda authorities that a breakdown of vehicles decommissioned by Garda District is not readily available and would require a disproportionate use of Garda resources to compile. However, I am informed by the Garda authorities that the number of Garda vehicles decommissioned in the years 2008, 2009 and 2010 broken down by Division is as detailed in the following tables:
