Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 8 September 2022
1444. Deputy Jim O'Callaghan asked the Minister for Justice the age and percentage of the Garda fleet within the Wexford division that are aged less than one year old, between one and three years old, between four and six years old, between seven and ten years old and over ten years old; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [43572/22]
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, allocation, and effective and efficient use of Garda vehicles. As Minister, I have no direct role in these matters.
I am advised, however, that Garda management keeps the distribution of resources under continual review to ensure their optimum use in light of identified operational needs and emerging crime trends.
The table below, provided to me by the Garda authorities, outlines the age and percentage of the Garda fleet within the Wexford division that are aged less than one year old, between one and three years old, between four and six years old, between seven and ten years old and over ten years old, as of 30 August 2022.
