Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 13 January 2016
478. Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the number of vehicles allocated and available for use in Kevin Street, Kilmainham, Sundrive, Crumlin and Ballyfermot Garda stations, by station, during the first week of November in 2014 and in 2015. [46723/15]
View answerAs the Deputy will appreciate decisions in relation to the provision and allocation of Garda vehicles are a matter for the Garda Commissioner in the light of her identified operational demands and the availability of resources.
In that context I am advised by the Garda Authorities that the information requested by the Deputy is as contained in the following tables.

*Due to the re-location of the Crime Task Force from Kevin Street Garda Station to Pearse Street Garda Station, the figure for unmarked cars dropped significantly in November, 2015.
