The deployment of Garda transport is a matter for the Garda Commissioner. In that context, I am informed that the Garda vehicles which were purchased towards the end of last year are currently being rolled out.

I have been advised by the Garda authorities that the proposed allocation of the new vehicles is as outlined in the following table. A more detailed breakdown is not currently available and the Deputy will appreciate that the vehicles will be deployed in line with Garda operational requirements.
