The additional vehicles have to be welcomed. I am aware from the Minister’s responses to parliamentary questions and statements in the Dáil that continuous funding for additional vehicles to cater for the demand is absolutely necessary and welcome.
The 400 vehicles mentioned in the explanatory note under A.5, pertaining to transport, are for 2015. Is the supplementary budget to supply vehicles in addition to those? Could the Minister provide us with a little more information on how An Garda Síochána managed to save €1.5 million in maintenance costs? That is a very significant figure.
