Dáil Éireann Debate, Monday - 11 September 2023
1110. Deputy Patrick Costello asked the Minister for Justice for an update on the breakdown, in tabular form, over the past ten years, of the number of An Garda Síochána vehicles fitted with Puma automatic number plate recognition detection equipment, by Garda station and division; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [37549/23]
View answerAs the Deputy will be aware, the Garda Commissioner is responsible by law for the management of An Garda Síochána, including the equipping of Garda vehicles. As Minister, I have no direct role in these matters.
However, to be of assistance I sought the information requested by the Deputy from An Garda Síochána and have been advised that An Garda Síochána do not use Puma automatic number plate recognition detection equipment.
