Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 10 April 2024
103. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Justice the percentage of the Garda roads policing unit fleet that are aged between 0-2 years old, between 3-6 years old, between 7-10 years old and over 10 years old, in tabular form. [15552/24]
View answerThe 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 allocation 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.
