I thank the Deputy for his contribution. I acknowledge his contribution was not about the effect of the speed cameras. The Deputy will appreciate that the reply as provided indicates the Minister takes the issue seriously and has liaised with the Garda authorities.

I am not in a position to discuss the individual cases the Deputy has outlined.

The Garda is studying the recent rulings and taking legal advice with respect to the possibility of seeking clarification from the higher courts. I take on board the points made by the Deputy and will communicate them to the Minister for Justice and Equality. It is convenient the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport is here. I will endeavour to get a more detailed response for the Deputy. The Minister for Justice and Equality is unable to comment on individual cases. The issues raised by the Deputy have been discussed with the Garda authorities and they are aware of them. We will endeavour to work on a cross-departmental basis to provide the Deputy with a more direct response if he requires one.
