Minister for Justice and Equality (Deputy Alan Shatter)

I am advised by the Garda authorities that there are four marked and five unmarked Garda cars currently assigned to the Carlow District. Two of these cars are assigned to traffic duty.

With regard to the relevant cars, one is projected to be decommissioned by 31st December 2012 and two are projected to be decommissioned by 30th June 2013.
