I propose to take Questions Nos. 483 and 490 together.

I am advised by the Garda authorities that, in accordance with the contract with Go Safe, the service provider is responsible for ensuring that all vehicles used in connection with the provision of the safety camera network service are fit for purpose, roadworthy and meet all legislative requirements in respect of the use of such vehicles in a public place. I am also informed that requirements on the service provider to ensure that all equipment used in connection with the service is installed, calibrated and maintained in accordance with approved standards are being met.

I am further advised that An Garda Síochána is not aware of any issues with regard to equipment or technology utilised by the service provider or the road worthiness of the vehicles used in the provision of the safety camera service.
