The planning of Operation Freeflow is a matter for the Operation Freeflow Committee, which is chaired by An Garda Síochána and brings together the relevant local authorities and public agencies.

I understand from the Dublin Transport Office that Operation Freeflow 2006 will be launched on 27 November 2006, and will run until 7 January 2007. I understand that full operational details and the resources required are being finalised by the Freeflow Committee, and will be promoted in advance of the launch. As in previous years, Operation Freeflow will include a range of measures to improve traffic flow in Dublin during the Christmas and New Year period, including the deployment of additional Gardaí on traffic duty in the City.
