I am informed by the Garda authorities that their current priority is the use of camera technology for speed enforcement. I am also informed that they are currently considering the introduction, in cooperation with the relevant authorities, of cameras at various locations in the Dublin area, where failure to observe traffic lights by road users is a significant issue.
