The total budget allocated to the Garda SÃochána for 2004 is â¬1.055 billion. As the budget is not allocated on an activity basis, it is not generally possible to identify separately the funds provided for road safety and road traffic enforcement.
As the duties of members of the Garda SÃochána are not mutually exclusive, members can discharge a number of duties, including road safety and traffic enforcement, as part of their routine policing activities.
A specific budget of â¬1.074 million has, however, been allocated in the 2004 Garda Vote for the purchase of road traffic equipment to assist members in the general discharge of road safety and traffic duties, and provision has been made within the computer capital subhead â A.5 â for the completion of the FCPS project.
