Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

I reported on it in 2013, in respect of 2012. Having carried out the 2016 audit, I am aware that the contract has been renewed. I will have a look at the procurement and if there is any issue, I will report it. Operationally, my understanding is that they are required to mount the checks but there is no target for them to catch. The locations where they stand are predetermined by agreement with An Garda Síochána and there has been some rejigging of that to take account of shifts in where the problems are occurring. The Garda Síochána can turn up in many more places with much less predictability. One sees the camera signal indicating an area where one may encounter something but that tends not to be the case with An Garda Síochána. There are operational decisions and I will not be investigating them but I will report back if there is any concern around procurement.
