Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 20 March 2018
300. Deputy Jim O'Callaghan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the number of four wheel drive Garda vehicles in each district in the Dublin metropolitan region; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [11830/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs the Deputy will appreciate, decisions in relation to the provision and allocation of Garda vehicles are a matter for the Garda Commissioner in light of his identified operational demands and the availability of resources. As Minister, I have no direct role in the matter.
However, the information requested by the Deputy, as provided by the Garda authorities is as follows:
4 Wheel Drive Vehicles in the Dublin Metropolitan Region (DMR) as on 7 March 2018

DMR East Division |

DMR South Division |

I understand that the allocation of Garda vehicles is monitored and reviewed by the Garda authorities on a continual basis. Responsibility for the efficient deployment of Garda vehicles within each Division is assigned to the Divisional Officer, who may allocate vehicles as required by operational requirements.
