Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Issues Relating to Road Safety: An Garda Síochána
Mr. Drew Harris:
In part that is why we have introduced the 30-minute operation. We want to make this a complete organisational effort, in effect. It is not our idea - we copied this initiative from elsewhere. In other jurisdictions it was successfully applied. This is precisely why we want local gardaí and community gardaí in the local regular units, those on the 24-7, to attend to more minor infringements through education, warning but also enforcement.
The second piece around bus lanes and breaking red lights should be dealt with in part by automated enforcement. That would be camera enforcement as well.
