2417. Deputy Cormac Devlin asked the Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration to provide an update on the Garda helicopter fleet; when the helicopters were first purchased; the number operational; the number of Gardaí and specialists assigned, by rank or level; the number of deployments for the years 2020 to date, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I have requested the information sought by the Deputy from the Garda authorities. Regrettably, this was not available in time and I will write to the Deputy once the information is to hand.
