Questions (506)
Written answers
I have requested the information sought by the Deputy from the Garda authorities and I will contact the Deputy directly once the information is to hand.
The following deferred reply was received under Standing Order 51
I refer to your Parliamentary Questions (No. 506 of 20 October 2020) where you sought: “….the number of speeding fines that were recorded on the M7 between the Red Cow junction and the Naas Johnstown exit in the last year”.
As you will recall, I sought the information you requested from the Garda authorities and undertook to contact you again once the report was to hand.
The report is now to hand and I am informed by the Garda authorities that the attached table outlines the number of Speeding Fixed Charge Notices issued at locations approximating those described in the request in the timeframe requested. I would point out that the Garda Síochána Analysis Service (GSAS) have looked at location descriptions which included “M7” or “N7” and there are a number of locations on the M7 and N7 that do not have these terms included in the location description. Therefore the figures attached are the minimum number of fines issued.
