Question 216: To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the Garda station that is responsible for ensuring that the bus lane at the Long Mile Road outbound approaching Naas Junction is kept clear, as there seems to be some confusion in this regard as to whether this is the responsibility of Clondalkin or Crumlin station; the number of fines and prosecutions issued at or near this location since this bus lane has been opened; the amount of times the bus lane near the Lough and Quay Clondalkin is monitored; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I have been informed by the Garda authorities that the bus lane on the Long Mile Road from its junction with the Walkinstown Road to the intersection with Robinhood Road is in Crumlin Garda District and from there to the Naas Road junction is in Clondalkin Garda District. The bus lane on the Nangor Road near the Lough and Quay licensed premises is in Clondalkin Garda District. I am also informed that both Garda Districts are regularly patrolled by uniform and plain clothes personnel including the District mobile units, foot patrols, mountain bike unit personnel supplemented by the regional Traffic Corps personnel based in Dublin Castle and the Divisional Traffic Corps Units.
