My Department has received no representations from the National Roads Authority regarding the installation of speed cameras in the Dublin Port Tunnel.

I am informed by the Garda authorities that they have been consulted by the National Roads Authority, which is under the aegis of the Department of Transport, concerning a proposal to introduce speed cameras in the Dublin Port Tunnel in the context of the possible submission of a proposal to Government, which would make the final decision in this matter.

I am further informed that, should the proposal be successful, breaches of the speed limit would be dealt with by way of the issue of fixed charge notices.
