Question 231: To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if all new Garda patrol cars will be fitted with mobile phone hands free kits to facilitate use of phones in the course of duty; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [38002/06]

I have been informed by the Garda authorities that there are no plans at this time to fit hands free kits to official vehicles to facilitate the use of mobile phones while driving. It is contrary to the Garda Commissioner's policy for officers to operate a mobile phone while driving.
