I am informed by the Garda authorities, who are responsible for the detailed allocation of resources, that the total number of Garda vehicles assigned to the various Garda stations throughout County Kildare is as set out in the following table:

The transport fleet attached to Garda stations in County Kildare is composed of modern vehicles which are adequately equipped with modern equipment to enable gardaí to perform their duties effectively and to maintain high standards.
