Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 8 April 2014
454. Deputy Thomas Pringle asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if he will review the continued service of a company (details supplied) in operating speed checks on behalf of An Garda Síochána; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [16526/14]
View answerA contract for the provision of an outsourced safety camera network to An Garda Síochána was concluded in November, 2009 and the network commenced operations in November, 2010. The service provider, Go Safe, is contracted to provide the service for 5 years (from November 2010), with an option to extend the service for a further year.
In accordance with the contract, the outsourced safety camera network operates under the direction of An Garda Síochána with the Office for Safety Camera Management (OSCAM) managing the key elements of the day-to-day running of the project. I am informed by the Garda authorities that the service provided by Go Safe is under continuous review. Arising from a number of issues raised concerning certain aspects of the operation of the safety camera network, I have sought a report from the Garda Commissioner and expect to receive this report in the very near future.
