Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Road Safety: Discussion

Ms Paula Hilman:

I do not have the number of additional hours. We just worked out the number for September. The meeting on the hours in October is ongoing as we speak. I can give the Deputy the overall number. In September, there will be 500 additional hours; in October, there will be 1,030 additional hours; in November, there will be 1,235 additional hours; and in December, there will be up to 1,500 additional hours. We have already asked for additional hours for all of 2024. What is happening now is that the bureau and the respective chief superintendents in each region are coming together with GoSafe. Those hours will be allocated and must be allocated in line with the approved zones and the areas that we know are the highest risk. That in-depth work is ongoing.
