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, including the purchase, allocation, and effective and efficient use of Garda vehicles. As Minister, I have no role in these independent functions.
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 vital policing work.
On 31 March 2024 there were 3,513 vehicles in the Garda fleet, the highest ever and a 34% increase since 2015.
I am informed by the Garda authorities that there are currently 73 marked vans attached to the DMR. I am further advised that the table below sets out these vans by Division and District.
