Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 10 November 2021
203. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Justice the number of fixed-charge notices issued to drivers for speeding, by Garda division, in each of the years 2018, 2019 and 2020; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [54960/21]
View answerAs the Deputy will be aware, the Garda Commissioner is responsible under the law for the management and administration of An Garda Síochána, including all operational policing matters. This includes the management of the Fixed Charged Notice System. As Minister, I have no role in these independent functions.
I have been provided with the information below by the Garda Authorities in response to the Deputy's query. The table provides a yearly breakdown by Garda division of the number of instances in which a party was issued with a Fixed Charge Notice for the offences of speeding.
Please note that below figures are based on incidents which occurred from 01.01.2018 to 31.12.2020, inclusive. All information contained in this report is based upon operational data from the Fixed Charged Notice System as was available on 01.11.2021 and is liable to change.
