I have requested a report from the Garda authorities in relation to the levels of speeding at the location referred to by the Deputy. I will contact the Deputy again as soon as the report is to hand.

The issuing and payment of fines are matters for the courts. Under the Courts Service Act 1998 the Courts Service is independent in the performance of its functions which include, inter alia, the provision of statistical and other court related information.
