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 procurement of vehicles for the Garda fleet. As Minister, I have no role in such matters.
I am advised by the Garda authorities that all Garda vehicles, including Garda Roads Policing Vehicles are purchased under contracts tendered by the Office of Government Procurement.
I am further advised that the current contract for the purchase of Garda Roads Policing Vehicles is in place until 24 November 2024 with the option to extend for a further period of 12 months.
