I would rather see a report of fitting vehicles actually used in service have adequate lighting and sirens as the Garda fleet is shockingly bad especially the i30/40 unmarked units which can't be seen in daylight and near impossible at night.

The sirens on most of the new vehicles is shocking and this includes the armed units in BMW 530d, X5 and Audi Q7.

What moron comes up with these rules sure most Gardai can't use blues either.....
