Gardai spent almost €183,000 purchasing three new hybrid and electric vehicles for their fleet of cars to transport government ministers and other officeholders.
An Garda Síochána said the €182,975 outlay had covered the cost of buying two Audi A6 plug-in hybrid electric vehicles last year and a fully electric Hyundai Ioniq 5 this year.
A hybrid Lexus vehicle had already been in the fleet since 2019 joining the 14 existing diesel-engine cars used for ministerial and officeholder travel.
