As the Deputy will be aware, the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the management and administration of Garda business under Section 26 of the Garda Síochána Act 2005 (as amended), which includes all decisions related to the provision of fleet vehicles to the various units of An Garda Síochána.
I am assured that the purchase and allocation of vehicles by An Garda Síochána is made on the basis of identified operational demands, the availability of resources and is reviewed on a continual basis.
I am informed by the Garda authorities that the purchase of a replacement truck for the Garda Band is currently not planned.
