Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 10 November 2021
204. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Justice the number of drivers who paid a fixed-charge notice for speeding, by Garda division, within the statutory payment timeframe, in each of the years 2018, 2019 and 2020; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [54961/21]
View answerAs the Deputy will appreciate the Garda Commissioner is responsible, under the Garda Síochána Act 2005 (as amended) for the management and administration of An Garda Síochána. This includes the administration of the Fixed Charge Notice System. As Minister I play no role in these independent functions.
To be of assistance I have contacted the Garda authorities who have been provided the following information in response to the Deputy's query.
Below is a yearly breakdown by Garda division of the number of instances in which a party paid a Fixed Charge Notice issued for the offences of speeding. 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 FCPS system as was available on 01.11.2021 and is liable to change.
