The Deputy will be aware that, under the Garda Síochána Act 2005 (as amended), the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the management and administration of An Garda Síochána. This includes the management of the Garda Fleet.
The purchase and allocation of Garda vehicles is a matter for the Commissioner, in light of identified operational demands and the availability of resources. As Minister, I have no role in these independent functions, however, I am assured that the distribution of resources is reviewed on a continual basis.
I am advised by the Garda authorities that the information requested by the Deputy is contained in the table below. Information supplied is as of 8 April 2024, and is operational and subject to change.
It should be noted that all vehicles assigned to GNIB are unmarked.
