Policing Matters: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Drew Harris:
I do not have that figure off the top of my head. We have over 10,000 of the mobility devices issued to Garda members. There is a particular app provided and then a tripod is needed for that to successfully read number plates, as well as additional equipment. It was my understanding that equipment was being provided to roads policing units in particular. There was a focus on roads policing detections in respect of that and the identification of individuals, so much of this is focused on roads detections. If the Deputy allows, I can get back to him on that. I do not believe there is only one device in Donegal. I would say the roads policing unit is well-----
