Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 21 October 2004
169 Mr. Perry asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the way in which the traffic phone watch system has helped reduce speed; the steps which are taken if a vehicle has been reported speeding excessively on two or more occasions; if he will make a statement on the matter. [25877/04]
Amharc ar fhreagraTraffic Watch was established on a national basis in February 2004. The public are encouraged to report inappropriate driving behaviour to the Garda using a low cost telephone number. I have been informed by the Garda authorities that a review of the project is under way and an examination of the relationship between speeding and reporting of offences to the Garda is being considered as part of the review. The Garda authorities further inform me that each complaint received is dealt with.
