The Garda fleet assigned to the Limerick Division on 30 September 2025 comprised 135 vehicles, which included 103 cars, 24 vans, six motorcycles, one 4x4, and one vehicle classified as "other". This represents an increase of 33 vehicles, or 32%, since 2020.
All vehicles are operated up to the manufacturers durability limits or uneconomic repair, irrespective of age. A comprehensive service repair and maintenance programme is in place to ensure that all vehicles are operating to manufacturers specifications.
The responsibility for the efficient deployment of all official Garda vehicles in each Division is assigned to the relevant Chief Superintendent, who may allocate vehicles between stations as required by operational circumstances. The allocation of these vehicles is monitored and reviewed on a continual basis.
