Amharc ar fhreagraDecisions on the provision and deployment of Garda transport are matters for the Garda Commissioner. Responsibility for the efficient deployment of official Garda vehicles in each Division is assigned to the Divisional Officer, who may allocate vehicles between stations, as required by operational circumstances.
In that overall context, I am informed by the Garda authorities that the number of Garda vehicles allocated to Co. Louth for the periods requested by the Deputy is as outlined in the following table:
