Mr. Sam Waide:

An Garda Síochána and the RSA want to use more technology. To answer the question on who makes the decision and who is taking the lead, I have consistently advocated for the use of more technology for road safety. An Garda Síochána would welcome being able to use safety cameras, including in the GoSafe vans at the side of the road, to pick up on people not wearing seat belts, which is killer behaviour, people using the mobile phones, which is killer behaviour, and people eating a McDonald's while driving, which is killer behaviour. It is all distraction. That technology is used in other EU member countries. I get frustrated when people say "Why are we not doing this here in Ireland?" I ask everyone here to back and support any legislative or regulatory changes to use that technology.
