Public Accounts Committee

Appropriation Accounts 2023
Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána

2:00 am

Mr. Justin Kelly:

There are several deployments per day, particularly of the helicopter. The aircraft we are getting – the Airbus H145 – have additional capability, particularly in respect of night-time flight capability and capacity. We will actually be able to move people around the country in them in numbers. We do not have that capacity at the moment. The Deputy will be aware of the types of duties the helicopters are used for at present, but the new ones will provide us with capacity to move specialists around the country.
