Policing Matters: Garda Commissioner

Ms Nóirín O'Sullivan:

Yes, it is. We have a transport sub-committee chaired by Mr. Dónall Ó Cualáin. There is input on the make and type of vehicles for the force. With the additional investment, we are now able to invest in public order vans and different types of van that give high visibility and also capability. There are also pushbikes and motorcycles to ensure there is a mixed fleet. There is also a mixed fleet for cars, with the addition, most recently, of high-powered cars to support our regional support units.
