Written answers
I am informed by the Garda authorities that for operational security reasons they are unable to disclose details of vehicles assigned to and removed from the Garda Armed Support Unit. Therefore I am unable to provide the information sought by the Deputy.
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 such matters.
