Mr. Peter Collins:

An Garda Síochána will pick up people for whom it will be their first offence but, unfortunately, that will be the collateral damage if we are to put things right for everyone and make the bus lanes safer. These initiatives, such as number plate recognition, have been tried and tested in other jurisdictions. Nothing is stopping us from doing the same here. Yes, it involves granular detail, but we should not be debating these things because they should already be here.

Finally, if people report incidents, they should get responses. Dublin Bus was asked what happens to a complaint. If that information was available and people saw it being followed through, the Traffic Watch complaints desk and phones might light up, but that would be the result of having good resources. It will show that there is a problem and where the resources can be put. This will help the Garda to get funding and so on and so forth.
