Under the Policing, Security and Community Safety Act 2024, the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the distribution and stationing of Garda personnel and resources throughout the State.

I have been advised by the Garda authorities that the below tables provide the number of marked and unmarked Garda cars allocated to and removed from the Limerick Roads Policing Unit in 2025 and to 30 June 2026.

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

An Garda Síochána publishes detailed information on the Garda fleet from 2008 to date. Monthly Fleet reports that include a Divisional breakdown are also currently available from 2020 to March 2026. This is publicly available on their website at the following link: www.garda.ie/en/about-us/our-departments/finance-services/finance-fleet-management.html.
