Minister for Justice and Equality

The provision and allocation of Garda resources, including transport, is a matter for the Garda Commissioner. In turn, the deployment of Garda vehicles is kept under on-going review by the Garda authorities and revised in response to policing demands.

This flexibility in allocating and re-allocating vehicles, so as to best match the allocation of resources with priorities, is crucial to the efficient management of the Garda fleet. As a consequence, the Deputy will appreciate that it is not practicable to provide these figures at District level for the years requested.

In that context, I am advised by the Garda authorities that the number of Garda vehicles by Division in 2007, 2008, 2009 2010, 2011, 2012 and to date in 2013 is set out in the following table. It should also be noted that there have been a number of Divisional boundaries realignments over the period concerned.
