In November, 2009 a contract was concluded for the provision of an outsourced safety camera network to An Garda Síochána. The outsourced safety camera network commenced operations in November 2010. The service provider, Go Safe, provides 6,000 speed monitoring hours and 1,475 traffic survey hours per month across the country and is contracted to provide the service for five years (from November 2010) with an option to extend provision of the service for one further year. I am informed by the Garda authorities that there are currently no proposals for outsourcing further functions of An Garda Síochána in respect of the enforcement of Road Traffic legislation.
