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 and allocation of Garda vehicles.
However, I am assured that the number and types of vehicles procured by An Garda Síochána is based on identified operational needs, the availability of resources and is reviewed on a continual basis.
I am advised by the Garda authorities that as of 14 September there are no moped bikes in the Garda fleet. I am also advised that there are currently no plans to have 1400cc motorcycles in use in the Garda Fleet.
