Mr. David Sheahan:

What we are trying to achieve, no more than the GoSafe vans, is have an equal distribution of members in areas where we know fatalities have occurred. We are doing some analytical work with a view to determining the numbers required in each county based on the locations of fatal road accidents and an aggregate number across the State. The roads policing unit contributes some 80% of all detections for road traffic offences. The aim of the next part of the pilot is to provide the road policing units with the devices in the next couple of months. There will be approximately 1,000 devices in operation. These units work full time on roads policing and the device will capture about 80% of all the data, which is a significant amount.
