I am advised by the Garda authorities that 493 hand-held units which are used to record road traffic offence data at the roadside have been procured by An Garda Síochána. The cost of these units was €1,885,305 inclusive of VAT, which includes the cost of the unit together with ancillary items such as chargers. These units are in use throughout all Garda regions nationwide.
