As the Deputy will be aware, in accordance with the Garda Síochána Act 2005 (as amended), the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the management and administration of An Garda Síochána, including the purchase, allocation, and effective and efficient use of Garda vehicles. As Minister, I have no role in such matters.
However, to be of assistance I sought the information requested by the Deputy from An Garda Síochána and have been advised that there are currently no plans to have 1400cc motorcycles in use in the Garda Fleet, and there are currently none in use.
I am informed that the number and types of vehicles procured is based on identified operational needs, the availability of resources and is reviewed on a continual basis.
