Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 10 April 2024
109. Deputy Jim O'Callaghan asked the Minister for Justice the number of Garda mountain bikes allocated to DMR north division as of 4 April 2024; if she will provide the same figures as of 1 April 2021, in tabular form; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [15572/24]
View answerAs the Deputy will be aware, the Garda Commissioner is responsible by law for the management and administration of Garda business, which includes all decisions about Garda equipment. As Minister I play no role in these independent functions, and have no role in the issuance of contracts for purchase of Garda equipment, which are governed by standard Government procurement guidelines.
I have been advised by Garda management that the table below sets out the number of mountain bikes attached to the DMR North Division on the April 2021 and on 1 April 2024.
