I am informed by the Garda authorities that the number of hand-held devices to record penalty points offences held by Gardaí in County Westmeath and Longford are set out in the following table:

I am further informed that the hand-held devices on issue are in addition to notepads which operational Gardaí also use when detecting breaches of the Road Traffic Acts.
