The detailed allocation of Garda resources, including transport, is a matter for the Garda Commissioner to decide in accordance with his operational requirements and priorities. Such allocations are continually monitored and reviewed by senior Garda management along with overall policing arrangements and operational strategy. This ensures that optimum use is made of Garda resources and that the best possible service is provided to the public.

I regret that the specific information requested by the Deputy is not readily to hand. I will write to the Deputy as soon as it is available.
