Both enforcement of road traffic offences and enforcement levels are matter for the Garda Commissioner.

In relation to implementation of the overall Road Safety Strategy, a Cabinet Sub-Committee on Road Safety, which I chair, meets regularly to monitor progress, assess priorities, and identify any difficulties in implementation. Both the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform and the Garda Commissioner are members of this committee, among others.
