The deployment of speed cameras is an operational matter for the Garda authorities, and is based on the identification of sections of road which have a history of collisions where speed was a contributory factor. The locations of these speed enforcement zones, which are kept under review by the Garda authorities, are in the public domain and are available on the Garda website www.garda.ie. I have no role in the identification of these zones or the deployment of resources to these locations, but have brought the Deputy's concerns regarding the particular location in question to the Commissioner's attention.
