752. Deputy Seán Ó Fearghaíl asked the Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration the number of Garda mountain bikes attached to each Garda district within Kildare-Carlow division; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [72396/25]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am informed by the Garda authorities that following the implementation of the Garda Operating Model in August 2025, the Kildare/Carlow Division no longer operates on a District model and is now organised into Functional Areas.
Under this model, Divisions are organised into four functional areas – Community Engagement, Crime, Business Services and Performance Assurance.
The number of Garda mountain bikes in each Community Engagement Functional Area is set out in the table below:
|
Community Engagement Functional Area |
Number of mountain bikes |

Kildare North |
8 |
|
Kildare South |
