As the Deputy will be appreciate decisions in relation to the provision and allocation of Garda vehicles are a matter for the Garda Commissioner in the light of her identified operational demands and the availability of resources and I, as Minister, have no direct role in the matter.
Material in relation to the strength of the Garda Fleet, as of 19 April 2017, the date for which it is readily available, is as outlined in the table below. I have requested the Commissioner for a breakdown of the percentage of vehicles greater than 10 years and will revert to the Deputy when same is to hand.
Age | Fleet Total | % of Total |
---|---|---|
2,794 | 100% | |
< 1 Year | 504 | 18% |
1 - 2 Years | 413 | 15% |
2- 4 Years | 799 | 29% |
4 - 6 Years | 235 | 8% |
> 6 Years | 843 | 30% |
