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. At Divisional level, the responsibility for the efficient deployment of all Garda vehicles is a matter for the Divisional Officer.

I am informed by the Garda authorities that the Waterville Garda sub-district is subject to regular mobile Garda patrols and that the current policing arrangements for the area make the optimum use of Garda resources.
