The more automation there is of mundane tasks like cameras focusing on bus lanes, cycle lanes and red lights, the less need there is to take gardaí away from other crime duties or other parts of roads policing.

The Garda Commissioner referred to the 6,675 vehicles seized. Were they all seized for having no insurance or were there other reasons? What kind of vehicles are being seized, generally speaking? Is it cars or vans? Is it in rural or urban areas? Is it older vehicles? Why are they being seized? It seems that quite a lot of vehicles are seized.
