Amharc ar fhreagraThe provision and allocation of Garda resources, including motorcycles, is a matter for the Garda Commissioner in the light of his identified operational requirements.
I am advised by the Garda authorities that the motorcycles attached to the Garda Traffic Corps play an important role in An Garda Síochána's strategy of providing high visibility traffic policing. Accordingly, they have no plans to introduce unmarked motorcycles to the Traffic Corps Fleet.
