I am informed by the Garda authorities that there are currently 3 marked patrol cars, 2 marked public order patrol vans and 1 marked community policing vehicle allocated to Coolock Garda District. Local Garda management also have access, if required, to additional public order vans which are at the disposal of the Divisional Task Force and are based in Santry.

I am advised that Garda Divisional management is satisfied that there are sufficient marked Garda vehicles available at Coolock, and from within the Division, for the delivery of an effective policing service to the Community.
