The detailed allocation of resources, including the allocation of personnel and speed detection equipment, is a matter for the Garda Commissioner to decide in accordance with his identified operational requirements.

Along with the expansion in the numbers of the Traffic Corps, there has been a significant increase in the financial resources provided for road traffic equipment which will enable a number of projects to proceed, including the replacement and upgrading of the current mobile speed detection equipment.
