The provision and allocation of Garda resources, including transport, is a matter for the Garda Commissioner in the context of his identified operational requirements. I am advised by the Garda authorities that the existing complement of community relations vans is considered adequate to meet policing demands and, accordingly, they currently have no proposals to purchase additional vans for that purpose.
