I am informed by the Garda authorities that currently there are 134 Garda vehicles fitted with the Automatic Number Plate Recognition computer system (ANPR), 85 of which are marked patrol vehicles. The remaining 49 vehicles are unmarked.

I also understand from the Garda authorities that there are no plans at this stage to increase the number of vehicles fitted with ANPR. However, the situation is being closely monitored and it will be kept under ongoing review.
