Jim O'Keeffe (Cork South West, Fine Gael)

The Road Traffic Act 2002 makes is clear that a speed measuring device must issue documentary evidence and that a copy must be given to the accused person. The Minister, in his reply, mentioned that 480 of these radar guns were acquired, apparently prior to the passing of the 2002 Act. Can the Minister give an idea of the cost of those?

Why did the terms of the 2002 Act not conform to the standard of the existing Garda Síochána equipment, or was it envisaged, when the Act was passed, that the equipment would be replaced?
