Chapter 8 - Management of Outsourced Safety Cameras

Mr. Seamus McCarthy:
I might just come in on the point raised earlier about the rate of detection. If you look at the monitor, figure 7.3 is basically a split by each mode of detection. I suppose the two that are easiest to compare are the Garda cameras and the GoSafe cameras. Essentially, we were using the data from 2011 and 2012 broken into six-month periods. GoSafe cameras were deployed in November of 2010. There were about 70,000 detections by GoSafe cameras in the period from January to June of 2011, and then it dropped fairly rapidly. By the last half of 2012, it was down at something like 50,000 - even fewer, actually.
