Under Action 67 of my Department's Road Safety Strategy 2021-2030, we are committed to 'further develop camera-based enforcement by the Gardaí, including at junctions and for management of bus/cycle lanes, building on existing and recent legislation through establishing suitable cross-agency administrative arrangements; and, where any legislative issues are identified, to consider and develop agreed proposals to remedy them.'

My officials have met with the Garda Síochána with a view to exploring this matter. I understand that legislative measures will be required in due course, and these will have to be considered in detail. At present, my legislative focus is on passing and implementing the Road Traffic and Roads Bill 2021. Already very wide-ranging, there is not sufficient time to develop measures in this particular area for inclusion in this Bill.
