Emer Higgins

Question:

578. Deputy Emer Higgins asked the Minister for Justice the number of Garda cars that are currently allocated per station in the L and K districts; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [8638/23]

Written answers

Minister for Justice

As 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 role in these matters.

I am however advised by the Garda authorities that the number of Garda cars allocated to the L and K districts at the end of January 2023 are as follows:

	Garda Cars
Clondalkin District- L	25
Blanchardstown District- K	43
