Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications

Road Traffic Offences: An Garda Síochána

10:10 am

Mr. Cornelius O'Donohue:

The programme in question was about how the equipment was set up as opposed to the equipment itself. The equipment is approved to international standards and is calibrated. We have full access to all equipment registers and repair logs to ensure it remains within proper calibration and certification standards. An Garda Síochána oversees this all the time to have full confidence that the equipment is maintained to the highest standard. In every court case, the operator is in a position to produce the certification from those who check the equipment. There have been no issues with court cases.
