As the Deputy will be aware, under the Garda Síochána Act 2005 (as amended), the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the administration and management of An Garda Síochána, including the procurement of protective equipment such as ballistic vests. As Minister, I have no role in such matters.
I am however informed by An Garda Síochána that a tender competition for the provision of body armour is anticipated to commence during the first half of 2023.
