I propose to take Questions Nos. 160 and 191 together.

Officials in my Department have ongoing engagement with An Garda Síochána with regard to the enforcement of the road traffic laws throughout Ireland, including breaches of bus lane restrictions.

While I can confirm that bus lane enforcement was among the issues raised with my Department by Dublin City Council in 2020, no commitment to camera funding has been made to, or indeed requested by, any of the Dublin-based local authorities.
