Written answers
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 for the purchase, allocation and efficient use of Garda vehicles. As Minister, I have no role in these independent functions.
I am advised that the purchase and allocation of vehicles is made on the basis of identified operational demands, the availability of resources and is reviewed on a continual basis.
The table below, provided by the Garda authorities, shows the number of new cars and vans allocated to the Dublin Metropolitan Region (DMR) by District from January to 31 May, the latest date for when figures are available. Figures are operational and subject to change.
