Written answers

I have requested a report from the Garda authorities on the matters raised by the Deputy, and I will communicate directly with him when the information sought is to hand.

The following deferred reply was received under Standing Order 51
I refer to Parliamentary Question number 637 of 11 May 2021 where you asked for the number of speeding fines or penalty points issued as a result of evidence obtained by speed camera vans nationwide in each of the past five years and to date in 2021.
You will recall that some of the information could not be obtained in the time available and I undertook to consult with An Garda Síochána and contact you again when the requested information was available.
As you are aware, the Garda Commissioner is responsible by law for the management and administration of An Garda Síochána, which includes operational decisions relating to road traffic matters.
I am advised by the Garda authorities that the table appended below sets out the number of instances in which a party was issued with a speeding Fixed Charge Notice and where the detection originated from a speed camera, listed by Garda Division.
I trust this information is of assistance.
