As the Deputy will be aware, the detailed allocation of Garda resources, including the procurement of ICT products and services, is a matter for the Garda Commissioner, and I as Minister, have no role in the matter.
Some €342 million, including €217 million in additional funding under the Capital Plan, is being invested in Garda ICT infrastructure between 2016 and 2021 to enable An Garda Síochána to deploy the latest cutting edge technologies in delivering professional policing and security services for the community.
I have requested a report from the Garda authorities in relation to the detail in the Deputy's question and I will provide the information requested when that report is to hand.
The deferred reply under Standing Order 42A was forwarded to the Deputy.
