Amharc ar fhreagraVehicles within the Office Holder fleet form part of the overall Garda fleet.
In that context I am informed by the Garda authorities that, following a competitive tender competition, 17 vehicles allocated to the Office Holder fleet were disposed of by public auction in 2012 and that the total amount secured for the Exchequer was €44,448. Currently, there are 22 vehicles allocated to the Office Holder fleet and I understand that the Garda authorities are reviewing the future vehicle requirements for the fleet.
