160. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Transport his plans to fund enhanced and or increased CCTV monitoring of bus lanes in Dublin; if he has engaged with Dublin based local authorities on the issue of bus lanes; and if not, if he plans to do so. [23109/21]
View answer191. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Transport if he has engaged with the Garda traffic corps management regarding greater and or enhanced enforcement in respect of unauthorised vehicle use of bus lanes on the Dublin road network. [23108/21]
View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 160 and 191 together.
Officials in my Department have ongoing engagement with An Garda Síochána with regard to the enforcement of the road traffic laws throughout Ireland, including breaches of bus lane restrictions.
While I can confirm that bus lane enforcement was among the issues raised with my Department by Dublin City Council in 2020, no commitment to camera funding has been made to, or indeed requested by, any of the Dublin-based local authorities.
