As the Deputy will be aware the provision and allocation of Garda vehicles is a matter for the Garda Commissioner in the light of her identified operational demands and the availability of resources.
I am advised by the Garda authorities that the replacement of Garda vehicles is reviewed on an ongoing basis in the context of operational priorities and available funding. There are currently no plans to purchase trucks for prisoner conveyance.
