I propose to take Questions Nos. 36 to 39, inclusive, together.

I have requested a Garda report on the matters referred to in the Deputy's questions and will contact the Deputy directly on receipt of a Garda report.

I can inform the Deputy that the Courts Service is not in a position to provide the courts data requested in the Deputy's questions, as Courts Service systems cannot differentiate between "Speed Vans" operated by the named company and those operated by An Garda Síochána.

The following deferred reply was received under Standing Order 42A

Payments under the Safety Camera Contract which cover the cost of speed vans is presented and summarised in the following table. This covers the period since the award of the contract to date.
