Both I and the Government are committed to providing An Garda Síochána with the resources needed to keep people safe.

This is reflected in the unprecedented allocation of over €2.48 billion in Budget 2025. This is allowing for sustained investment in recruitment, equipment, technology, and vehicles.

I am informed by the Garda authorities that from 2023 to 31 March 2025, a total of 37 motorbikes were allocated to the fleet, and a total of 15 were removed.

The table below shows the motorbikes allocated to and removed from the Roads Policing fleet in 2023, 2024 and 2025 as of 31 March.

The purchase and allocation of vehicles is made on the basis of identified operational demands, the availability of resources and is reviewed on a continual basis.

An Garda Síochána publishes information on the Garda fleet on their website at:
