The Garda Commissioner is the Accounting Officer for the Garda Vote.
In that context, I am advised by the Garda authorities that the maintenance costs for the Garda fleet for the period 2012 - 2014, including spare parts, tyres and towing, are set out in the table below:
| 2012 | 2013 | 2014 |
|---|---|---|
| € | € | € |
| 10,703,431 | 12,752,325 | 11,131,267 |
The Deputy will be aware that I recently secured a further €10 million for investment in the Garda fleet of which €7 million was made available in 2014. This funding brings the total investment in the Garda fleet in 2014 to €11 million. The remaining €3 million is being made available for the purchase and fit out of additional Garda vehicles during 2015.
