I hope the Deputy will appreciate that, insofar as the Deputy's question relates to operational matters for An Garda Síochána, these are matters for the Garda Commissioner, in which I have no role as Minister.

However, the Deputy will recall from my response to her Question Number 264 of 26 June 2018, that I am advised by An Garda Síochána that responsibility for the matters raised in the Deputy's question is jointly held by Dublin City Council and the National Transport Authority, in which I also have no role as Minister for Justice and Equality, beyond providing the necessary authorisation under the Road Traffic Act 2010. The role of An Garda Síochána in relation to these matters is to perform its statutory function in prosecuting offenders identified by devices of the kind the Deputy describes.

The Deputy will also recall from my earlier response that I was advised at that time by An Garda Síochána that it was not aware of current plans by any local authority to introduce such devices at any other locations. However, to be of assistance, I have requested an updated report from An Garda Síochána on this matter and I will be in contact with the Deputy directly on receipt of this report.
