Amharc ar fhreagraA working group on safety cameras chaired by my Department and consisting of representatives of the Garda Síochána, the Department of Transport and the National Roads Authority is examining the provision, operation and processing of the output of speed cameras. Work is well advanced on preparing proposals on how the management of the speed cameras will be structured with a view to issuing a request for tenders in the near future. The private operator, or operators, will provide, operate and process the output of the cameras. The Garda Síochána will manage the project.
