Amharc ar fhreagraDecisions in relation to the provision and deployment of Garda resources, including specialist units like the Garda Mounted Unit and Garda Dog Unit, are matters for the Garda Commissioner in the context of agreed policing plans and priorities. Accordingly I have asked the Garda Commissioner to provide the estimate sought by the Deputy and I will revert to the Deputy as soon as that information is to hand.
