Decisions in relation to the provision and deployment of Garda transport are matters for the Garda Commissioner. The responsibility for the efficient deployment of all official Garda vehicles in each Division is assigned to the Divisional Officer who may allocate vehicles between stations as required by operational circumstances.
I am advised by the Garda authorities that the allocation of Garda vehicles within each District, including Castlerea, is monitored and reviewed on a continual basis to ensure that an effective policing service is provided to the community and that the optimum use is made of available resources.
I am informed that there are currently two Garda vehicles attached to Castlerea Garda station, a marked car and an unmarked car. In addition I have been advised that the Garda authorities are satisfied that this allocation is sufficient to meet on-going operational requirements within the District.
