Ms Noirín O'Sullivan:

At the outset of the project in 2006, we dealt with projections on the level of compliance. With regard to international comparators at the time and even now, the average compliance rate internationally is expected to be approximately 50%. Our compliance rate much exceeds this and we initially achieved compliance of 81%. In the various zones now, the range is between 86% and 99%. The level of compliance would not have been predicted and the result is that receipts are down. On the positive side, compliance and safer road user behaviour are more evident.
