Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 19 January 2022
1181. Deputy Martin Browne asked the Minister for Justice the number of new marked and unmarked Garda cars allocated to Tipperary Garda division in 2020 and 2021; and the number of cars withdrawn from the division during same period. [62968/21]
View answerAs the Deputy will be aware, under the Garda Síochána Act 2005 (as amended), the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the administration and management of An Garda Síochána, including the purchase and distribution of Garda resources. As Minister, I have no direct role in these matters.
I am advised by the Garda authorities that the purchase and allocation of Garda vehicles is made on the basis of identified operational demands and the availability of resources, and is reviewed on a continual basis.
I have been provided with the tables below by the Garda authorities, outlining the information requested by the Deputy.
