Decisions in relation to the provision and deployment of Garda transport are matters for the Garda Commissioner. I am advised by the Garda authorities that provision has been made in the Garda Vote for 2012 to acquire new vehicles for An Garda Síochána and in that general context a Request for Tender is currently being developed in conjunction with the National Procurement Service. This is a matter which will be pursued in the light of An Garda Síochána's operational priorities and the availability of financial resources.
