The Deputy will appreciate that under the Garda Síochána Act 2005, the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the administration and business of An Garda Síochána as well as the efficient use of resources. This includes responsibility for decisions on the allocation of Garda resources across the Divisions, in light of identified operational demands.

As Minister, I have no role in those matters.

I am advised by the Garda authorities that there are 87 EvidenzerIRL Machines currently in use by An Garda Síochána.

The table below, furnished to me by the Garda authorities, details the number of machines currently in use in each of the Garda Divisions.
