The detailed allocation of Garda resources, including transport, is a matter for the Garda Commissioner. I am informed by the Garda authorities that there are 12 vehicles allocated to Kilkenny District for operational policing in Kilkenny City, seven of which are marked (including one motorcycle) and five are unmarked. I am further informed that local Garda management report that the current allocation is sufficient for operational policing purposes.
