and a fixed wing aircraft for the An Garda Síochána – the national police service of Ireland.
The capital allocation of €21.5 million in 2023 suggests it would be a very capable helicopter,
and local press have been speculating it would be an Airbus H145 without detailing their sources.
The Garda currently operates two EC135s which were put into service in December 2002 and November 2007.
It is anticipated that the new helicopter will become operational in 2023,
and the new plane will become operational in 2024.
