The provision and allocation of Garda resources, including mountain bikes, is a matter for the Garda Commissioner in the context of his identified operational requirements and available finance. I am advised by the Garda authorities that the current mountain bike stock is sufficient to meet policing requirements and that there are no plans to increase the number of such bikes in 2012.
