As the Deputy will be aware, under the Garda Síochána Act 2005 (as amended), the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the administration and management of An Garda Síochána, including the management of the Fixed Charge Processing System (FCPS). As Minister, I have no direct role in these matters.
The table below, which was provided to me by the Garda authorities, sets out a yearly breakdown per division of the Fixed Charge Notices issued for speeding where the detection arose as a result of a speed van.
I am informed that figures are based on incidents which occurred from 01/01/2019 to 31/05/2023, inclusive. I am also informed that all information contained in this report is based upon operational data from the FCPS system as was available on 03/07/2023 and is liable to change.
