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 responsibility for the efficient deployment of Garda vehicles is a matter for the Divisional Officer.

I have been informed by the Garda authorities that they are satisfied that a full complement of patrol vehicles, both marked and unmarked, is available at present within the DMR (West) Garda Division, which includes the Clondalkin Garda District, and that the current transport arrangements for the Division make the best use of available resources.
