In accordance with the arrangements for Ministerial transport agreed by Government in 2011, office-holder vehicles are provided from the overall Garda fleet for the President, Taoiseach, Tánaiste, Minister for Justice and Equality, Chief Justice and Director of Public Prosecutions.

As the Deputy will appreciate, management of the Garda fleet is a matter for the Garda Commissioner. 

I have requested the relevant information, including costs, from the Garda Commissioner and will write to the Deputy when a report is received.
