The unprecedented allocation of over €2.35 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 its vital policing work.
I am informed €10 million has been allocated for investment in the Garda fleet in 2024.
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.
I am advised by the Garda authorities that the allocation of Garda vehicles is monitored and reviewed on a continual basis to ensure the best match with operational requirements. I am further advised that the table below sets out the current age profile of the Garda Technical Bureau Fleet as of 5 April of this year.
