As the Deputy will be aware, under the Garda Síochána Act 2005 (as amended), the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the management and administration of An Garda Síochána. This includes the distribution of resources across the various Garda Divisions. As Minister, I have no role in such matters.
I am informed by the Garda authorities that An Garda Síochána recognise the need to be visible and accessible in communities but are also conscious of taking necessary actions to reduce their carbon footprint.
In Budget 2023, the government announced that An Garda Síochána would purchase an additional 130 mountain bikes.
I am advised by the Garda Authorities that as of 14 November 2022 the number of mountain bikes attached to each district within the Kildare division is as follows.
