Question 313: To ask the Minister for Justice and Equality the insurance cover in place for An Garda Síochána patrol cars; if a patrol car is burned out as a result of vandalism, if the insurance policy covers the cost of replacement and, if not, the funding in place to cover such replacement; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I am informed by the Garda authorities that Garda vehicles are covered by the State for insurance purposes. In that context, all claims involving Garda vehicles are handled by the State Claims Agency. The replacement of a vehicle in the circumstance outlined by the Deputy would fall to be funded from the budget of An Garda Síochána.
