Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform (Deputy Dermot Ahern)

The procurement of ammunition for use by members of An Garda Síochána is a matter for the Garda Commissioner. I am informed by the Commissioner that, for security reasons, it is not the practice to supply details in relation to the ammunition provided for the force.
