Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 12 December 2023
525. Deputy Brendan Smith asked the Minister for Justice the number of Garda stations in each Garda division that have their own electric vehicle charging points; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [54642/23]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe unprecedented allocation of over €2 billion for 2023 and €2.3 billion for 2024 to An Garda Síochána demonstrates the Government's commitment to ensuring An Garda Síochána has provision for the equipment, technology, facilities, fleet and personnel it needs to carry out vital policing work.
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 purchase, allocation, and effective and efficient use of Garda vehicles. As Minister, I have no role in such matters.
The table below, provided to me by the Garda authorities, shows the number of Garda stations with an electric vehicle charger point by Garda Division.
