Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 16 May 2024
215. Deputy Patrick Costello asked the Minister for Justice the number of fixed-charge speeding notices issued and paid in each county or local authority area, by month, over the past five years; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [22200/24]
View answerAs 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, which includes the enforcement of road traffic legislation and the recording of information on Garda IT systems. As Minister, I have no role in such matters.
I am advised by the Garda authorities that the information sought is not available in the format the Deputy has requested; however, to be of assistance, the Garda authorities have provided the table below, which sets out by Garda Division the number of instances where a party was issued with a Fixed Charge Notice for the offence of speeding in the years 2019 up to 2023 and in 2024 up to 12 May.
