I am informed by the Garda authorities that there are 20 fixed camera installation posts at various locations in the Dublin area and Louth-Meath division. There are three cameras rotated between these fixed camera installation posts, two in the Louth-Meath division and one in Dublin. There is a range of mobile speed detection equipment, including six GATSO vans — mobile units with on board cameras, radar, and computer system — in operation throughout the State. There is also currently in use by the Garda Síochána laser speed detection equipment, including hand held speed detection devices and car-motor cycle systeMs I am further informed by the Garda authorities that all speed cameras are currently operable.
