Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 8 May 2024
396. Deputy Niamh Smyth asked the Minister for Justice if any of the locations referred to in a document (details supplied) are in counties Cavan and Monaghan; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [20861/24]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs the Deputy will be aware, the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the management and administration of An Garda Síochána under section 26 of the Garda Síochána Act 2005 (as amended), which includes all operational policing matters. As Minister, I play no role in these independent functions.
I am informed by An Garda Síochána that the locations of the nine static speed safety cameras, which will be operational by the end of 2024, are as follows:
• Galway, N59, between Moycullen and Galway City
• Waterford, N25, between Glenmore and Luffany
• Wicklow, R772, Arklow Road, Aske, north of Gorey
• Donegal, N14, east of Letterkenny
• Carlow, N80, between Barristown and Levitstown
• Dublin, Crumlin Road/Parnell Road/Dolphin Road/Dolphin’s Barn Junction
• Mayo, N17, northeast of Claremorris
• Cork, N22, east of Lissarda, west of Ovens
• Limerick, N69, east of Askeaton
There will also be average speed cameras at N3 (Butler’s Bridge), N5 (Swinford), and N2 (Slane), which will be operational in early Q4 2024.
In relation to the business case for funding of 100 additional speed cameras, I am informed that this is at very early stages and no decisions have been made on locations yet.
