View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 917 and 920 together.
The Garda Commissioner is responsible for the management and administration of An Garda Síochána under Section 33 of the Policing, Security and Community Safety Act 2024. This includes all operational policing matters such as the allocation and deployment of resources available to him. I engage regularly with him to ensure An Garda Síochána have the resources they need.
Road traffic legislation is enforced as part of the day-to-day duties of members of An Garda Síochána, as well as through a programme of high-visibility road safety and enforcement operations carried out in partnership with other state agencies, in order to make our roads safer for all.
The below table, provided by the Garda authorities outlines the amount An Garda Síochána spent on purchasing new 'No Parking Cones’ in 2024 and to date in 2025.
