The detailed allocation of Garda resources, including transport, is a matter for the Garda Commissioner to decide in accordance with his identified operational requirements and priorities. I have been informed by the Garda authorities that a new public order van will be allocated on a permanent basis to the Bridewell Garda Station when new vans become available later this year. In the interim, it is the intention of Garda Authorities to allocate a public order van shortly to the station.
