I understand that the Deputy's question refers to the last 12 months.
I am informed by the Garda authorities that statistics are not compiled in such way as to give the number of drivers detected speeding at 50 to 60 km/h, 50 to 80 km/h and in excess of 100 km/h for the last 12 months. The amount of time it would take to compile such information could not be justified and would involve a disproportionate amount of Garda time.
The Garda IT system underpinning the Fixed Charge Processing System (FCPS) rolled out nationally for speeding offences on 2 February 2006. The following tables sets out the number of fixed charge notices issued for speeding offences in the 50, 60, 80 and 100 km/h speed zones for the period 2 February 2006 to 30 September 2006 by speed range.
