Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 25 April 2013
160. Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if the 213 extra Garda vehicles that were purchased last year have been delivered to their divisions; if not, the number of vehicles that remain outstanding; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [19600/13]
View answerDecisions in relation to the provision and allocation of Garda vehicles are a matter for the Garda Commissioner in the context of his identified operational demands and in the light of available resources. I am informed by the Garda authorities that all of the patrol vehicles procured in 2012 have been rolled out at this stage. In that connection I would draw the attention of the Deputy to the details I provided to him in my reply to Question No. 967 on 16th April 2013 (Ref: 17638/13).
