Mr. Michael Culhane:

The fleet currently stands at 2,651 vehicles, an increase of 217 over the figure at December 2012. Following the recent announcement of additional moneys allocated by the Minister, an extra 250 vehicles are due for delivery before the end of the year. Furthermore, the recently announced capital envelope for 2016 to 2021 includes an allocation of €46 million for vehicles. In addition to the high-powered vehicles that are coming on stream, we are addressing all of the elements of the fleet. We are confident we will have the tools and vehicles available to members to enable them to discharge their duties.
