As the Deputy will be aware, the provision and allocation of Garda resources, including mountain bikes, is a matter for the Garda Commissioner in the context of his identified operational requirements.
I am advised by the Garda authorities that the existing mountain bike stock is considered sufficient to meet policing requirements and that, based upon operational priorities, it is not envisaged that additional mountain bikes will be acquired in 2013.
