Question 641: To ask the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if, in relation to contracts for Garda uniforms there is a requirement on the part of the tendering contractors to provide for a modern traceability system and to provide for the disposal of used Garda uniforms; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I have been informed by the Garda authorities that the recent contract for the supply and fit of the Garda uniform did not include the provision for a tracking system or a requirement for the disposal of used uniforms. I have been further informed that there is already a contract in place for the disposal of used uniforms and that the management of the tracking of these used uniforms for disposal is the responsibility of local Garda management.
