Road Safety Strategy 2021-30: Discussion

Mr. Sean O'Reardon:

Some poor builder is broken down at the side of the road and we are panicking because we think we are being detected speeding. In all seriousness, GoSafe tells me we have a 99.5% compliance rate. I get the daily statistics from GoSafe every single day. We have monthly meetings with it where we set the criteria, set the parameters and agree them. At the moment we are rolling out new GoSafe zones nationally. We have exactly 1,312 zones and 1,491 sites where GoSafe locates. It currently has 54 vans operating nationally. We are now rolling out 225 new sites. We are ready today to pull the trigger on 87 sites. As soon as the new roster comes out with GoSafe, we are going to have those. We are splitting them up 50:50 between Dublin and the rest of the country.
